Description “Touched by the kind of genius that puts him into a category of his own” (The Guardian), Israel Galván is reinventing flamenco for the 21st century with a revolutionary style that “strips flamenco of its histrionic showbiz status” (The New York Times). Known for lightning-quick footwork, Galván has received flamenco’s most prestigious awards, including Spain’s National Dance Prize. In La Curva, he is joined on stage by three musicians who create a soundscape that fuses traditional Spanish folk with a contemporary piano score. Experience the future of flamenco for yourself this Festival – “he’s a dancer you need to see at least once” (The Guardian).
