Noche Flamenca's Explosive Return To:
Joe's Pub: Jan 3 - 8
THE “EXPLOSIVE” (NY TIMES) SPANISH FLAMENCO DANCE ENSEMBLE
NOCHE FLAMENCA RETURNS TO JOE’S PUB AT THE PUBLIC
SIX-DATE RUN BEGINS JANUARY 3 – JANUARY 8
New York, NY—The world-renowned Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca will celebrate its tenth residency at Joe’s Pub at The Public with eleven performances of spectacular dance, savage passion, cathartic song, and virtuosic guitar from January 3 – January 7, two performances a night (7:00 PM & 9:30 PM), leading up to the finale on January 8 at 7 PM. January marks over 100 performances for Noche at Joe’s Pub where audiences have the unique opportunity to experience the Spanish dance ensemble’s raw passion in an intimate environment. Noche Flamenca made its Joe’s Pub debut in 1998. Tickets are available at http://www.joespub.com/.
Noche Flamenca was founded by artistic director Martin Santangelo and his Bessie award-winning wife Soledad Barrio. Writing in the New York Times, the chief dance critic Alastair Macaulay has called Barrio “an intensely dramatic dancer”, noting that her skilled footwork expresses “the brilliance and color of flamenco rhythm”. Although deeply rooted in the beautiful Flamenco culture of Madrid, Noche Flamenca’s authentic gypsy heritage has become reborn in New York City.

The company maintains the essence, purity and integrity of one of the world's most complex and mysterious art forms, creating powerful performances that radiate off the Joe's Pub stage. “There is an intimacy we can achieve in terms of the work, the audience, the partnership, at Joe's Pub which could not exist anywhere else,” said Santangelo. In this pared-down, skillfully shaped show, Santangelo calls on the critically acclaimed talents of guitarists Salva de Maria and Eugenio Iglesias, singers Manuel Gago and Jose Jimenez, and dancers Soledad Barrio and Alejandro Granados. Noche Flamenca will also be a part of the 2013 season of the Joe’s Pub New York Voices commission series during which the company will debut the world premiere of Antigona, an imaginative retelling of Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy.
