 “…so good she’s scary” (The Pulse), FUEGO Flamenco director and accomplished choreographer/dancer Colette Illarde brings to the stage an alluring program blending traditional and contemporary flamenco. With guest artists from Spain and New Mexico alongside local luminaries, Flamenco, Heart and Soul features dramatic movement, percussive precision and passionate live music.  Performing with her company—noted for its exciting sound and outstanding choreography—Illarde debuts FUEGO Flamenco at Southern May 7-10, 2009.  



Flamenco, Heart and Soul showcases new choreography by Illarde, traditional flamenco standards, and Illarde’s encore performance of Volar, commissioned from Manuel Reyes especially for her McKnight Fellowship Solo spotlight.  “The program is a cathartic exploration that guides the audience toward the mystical experience called duende, or connection to the spirit,” explains Illarde.  “Duende is palpable to everyone present.  It is the goal of every flamenco event, and it is flamenco’s heart and soul.”



FUEGO Flamenco’s goal is to make flamenco accessible and genuine to the community.  In traditional Spanish style, there will be a juerga (flamenco hootenanny) after the concert on May 9.  Join the company for an up-close and personal experience: ask questions, clap and sing along, enjoy wine and Spanish tapas, and take a mini dance class.  Meet the artists and other aficionados (flamenco fans) and become part of the spirit.
