ABOUT THE SHOW:

“A Dancer’s Journey” is a unique dance show that explores the fusion between Flamenco, Contemporary dance theatre and live Flamenco-Jazz music.

The show is inspired by the poem “Ithaka”, by C.P Cavafy. This poem talks in depth about life in all its complexity, including both the setbacks and the positive memories that inevitably become part of the journey.

The dancers’ expressiveness, combined with the captivating live music, submerges the audience in the most powerful human emotions. The deepest hopes and dreams drive us through life; reward and fulfilment do not come only from reaching the desired end- point, but from the journey itself.

With nine sensational internationally renowned artists performing live on stage, “A Dancer’s Journey” promises to be a dazzling celebration of the beauty of dance and life.
