«Versus» o «V.S.» is the motto chosen for the seventeenth edition of the Festival Flamenco Ciutat Vella, the most imaginative and original of all flamenco festivals. A festival which year after year reinvents itself and incorporates new ideas and original works. From May 19th to 22nd.
Flamenco versus poetry takes the form of flamenco giving thanks to poetry for having given it so much. Experimentation versus improvisation, tradition versus creation, experience versus risk…everything’s fair game in this 17th edition which includes the work of Miguel Hernández, in this centennial year of the poet’s birth. The second edtion of «Flamenco Empírico» co-produced with the Mercat de les Flors with «Tapeos», an initiative created to provide an incentive to creativity and risk-taking, the series «Tócame las Palmas» directed by Juan Carlos Lérida, the series of flamenco cinema in its third edition, P’alucine, a show called Exposición en Movimiento of photographer Luis Castilla, and of course, the main program to be held at the Pati de les Dones, with artists such as Lebrijano, Carmen Linares, Marco Flores, Mayte Martín, Rocío Molina, José de la Tomasa and Fraskito. . From Wednesday the 19th, to Saturday the 22nd of May, the CCCB of Barcelona will be impregnated with flamenco. Every day in the Hall at 8:00pm «Tócame las Palmas» with different «Tapeos» selected beforehand from the main shows, and at midnight, more flamenco offerings with DJ Txarli Brown and Rumba Vella. Those of us who already know the festival return year after year, and for anyone who doesn’t know it, there’s no better excuse for spending a few days in Barcelona which at this time of year is wonderful.
