La Tarara: Kasandra Flamenco
|
La Tarara explores the power and variety of human emotions. This percussive flamenco dance spins a tale of brotherhood with rivalry, love, jealousy and intrigue in the mystical Café de Chinitas of Federico Garcia Lorca’s poetry. Alluring dance, Sevillan silk shawls, Spanish bata de cola (long train dress), castanets, uttering fans and epic footwork all bring the story to life.
