La plataforma ARTE.tv will broadcast on May 21st for all Europe the premiere of ‘Origen. La semilla de los tiempos’, the new show from the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía in collaboration with the ancient music group Accademia del Piaccere and the Teatro de la Maestranza. The broadcast of this production, the third under the direction of choreographer and dancer Patricia Guerrero, will be added to the ARTE.tv catalog, a platform committed to promoting culture in the continent and becoming an ally in the international promotion of this show.
The show, which will have its absolute premiere on May 18th at the Teatro de la Maestranza, also has the support of the International Festival of Music and Dance of Granada, the Festival de la Guitarra de Córdoba, and the Festival Castell de Peralada. The international promotion of this proposal is another step in the strategy of spreading the Andalusian art in the 15th anniversary of its declaration as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In this sense, the Minister of Culture and Sports, Patricia del Pozo, highlighted the «ambition» of the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía for successfully addressing «three very diverse shows in just a year and a half, as well as performing them in Spanish stages and in different European and American countries.»
‘Origen. La semilla de los tiempos’ is artistically and choreographically directed by Patricia Guerrero and musically directed by Fahmi Alqhai, two references in contemporary creation. The piece evokes cultural mestizaje exploring a common past and present through music and dance, showing the strong commitment of both artists to Andalusian traditions. A mission that they take to the limit in this show, exploring the roots of the Siglo de Oro and its imprint on current flamenco. The proposal also features dramaturgy by Juan Dolores Caballero, also in charge of stage direction along with Patricia Guerrero.
On Tuesday, May 13th, at 12:30, in the Press Room of the Teatro de la Maestranza, the presentation of this production will take place, whose absolute premiere in this scenic space will be celebrated on Sunday, the 18th.
