Rhythms with Soul
Miguel Vargas Flamenco Dance Theatre
www.miguelvargas.comThis fascinating, contemporary interpretation of traditional flamenco rhythms and melodies is a trip from the cradle of flamenco to the present and from the deepest grief to the holiest joy.
Born in Venezuela, Vargas made his debut as a child prodigy at the age of six. Today he is recognised as one of the top exponents of flamenco and is Director of the Centre of Art and Flamenco in Seville. He is joined by eight dancers and eight musicians for a show of pure energy, passion, intensity and technique.
'Flamenco is the way I express myself, my philosophy of life, not just my work. When I'm dancing, I reveal my soul. I am flamenco from the time I get up in the morning until I go to sleep at night, even when I'm asleep. I dream flamenco. Flamenco is my wife, my children are flamenco, flamenco is the city where I live and everything I do.' Miguel Vargas
