"Vuela" by Ballet Flamenco Sara Baras（Spain）

Description

World-renowned Spanish flamenco diva, Sara Baras, brings her company’s latest production "Vuela" for its Asian premiere. "Vuela" is a production created for celebrating the 25th anniversary of Baras’ own dance company, Ballet Flamenco Sara Baras. She took the occasion to pay tribute to the Spanish guitar virtuoso and composer Paco de Lucía (1947 - 2014), who left a revolutionary influence on flamenco music with his work.

“Vuela" (means "Fly" in English), was conceived from the respect, passion and love both artists shared. The production is composed in four acts, centered around the themes of wood, sea, death, and fly.

Celebrated for her lightning-fast footwork, intricate movements and captivating stage presence choreography, Sara Baras is the foremost exponent of flamenco dance and one of the most prestigious and recongised Spanish representatives in the performing arts international scene. She was hailed by the Bachtrack online music magazine as "a superstar who transcends genres". Baras established Ballet Flamenco Sara Baras in 1998, and has since choreographed 17 productions which toured in all five continents. Over the years, she has won multiple awards and has featured in an array of films.
