Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana
Bailey Hall, 230 Garden Ave, Ithaca, NY 14850, USA
Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana presents QUINTO ELEMENTO (Fifth Element), a powerful new work by internationally acclaimed dancer‑choreographer Patricia Guerrero, featuring an original live score by Francis Gómez. In this boundary‑pushing creation, Guerrero explores ether—the invisible yet ever‑present “fifth element”—using flamenco’s expressive language as both a foundation and a force to transcend traditional aesthetics. Celebrated for her deep command of flamenco and her fearless deconstruction of the form, Guerrero seeks to reveal flamenco’s own intangible essence, resulting in a work of striking, unconventional beauty.
One of America’s premier flamenco companies, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana reaches more than 30,000 people nationwide each year through performances and inclusive educational programs. Under the artistic leadership of Carlota Santana—honored by Spain with La Cruz de la Orden al Mérito Civil and hailed by Dance Magazine as “The Keeper of Flamenco”—the company has premiered over 30 original works and championed arts education and artist development initiatives since its founding in 1983. Guided by the belief that flamenco’s diverse cultural influences give it a unique power to build bridges, Flamenco Vivo continues its mission to preserve, expand, and celebrate flamenco as a vibrant living art form.
Artist and program information, subscriptions, single tickets, and student memberships are available through the DMCCS website, cornellconcertseries.com.

Founded in Lviv, Ukraine, in 2016 by Zoryana Dybovska, YAGODY (meaning “berries”) is rooted in Ukrainian and Balkan musical traditions. A YAGODY performance is ritualistic and self-described as a musical trance based on the pulse of humanity.
