Enjoy Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana’s newly commissioned work by Patricia Guerrero, internationally acclaimed flamenco dancer, choreographer and winner of the 2021 Spain National Dance Award. “Quinto Elemento” (Fifth Element) explores the fifth element of the earth: ether, that which we do not see yet is ever-present, the essence that makes up the space around us. Hailed as a master of tradition who dares to deconstruct the art form, Guerrero draws on her deep knowledge of traditional flamenco but pushes past the restriction of its rules. She seeks to extract the essence of flamenco itself, building from its expressive movement language while venturing beyond its current aesthetic bounds.
