Travesia, an original Flamenco Ballet, inspired by Eugene O’Neil’s Long Day’s Journey into Night

Description

Ballet Flamenco La Rosa (BFLR), Miami’s most stellar flamenco company for the last 37 years, announces the world premiere of cutting-edge new work at the Koubek Center on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at 8 PM and Sunday, March 5 at 3 PM.
Called “one of our cultural treasures” by the Miami Herald, this home-grown and world class company offers the very best flamenco music and dance to our community and beyond. With its breathtaking footwork, magnificent music, and passionate energy, Flamenco is a perfect language to tell this iconic story. With its wide range of rhythms, styles and emotions, Flamenco provides a magnificent interpretation of this intense and powerful work.The story is set in the Summer of 1912 and follows a family through one day in a complex web of illness, addiction and dysfunction that is as relevant today as when it was written in 1956. The family constantly revisits old wounds that they are unable to forget. The story unfolds as each character is explored, and then each character’s relationship with each of the other family members. Examining the emotional and psychological human experience through these characters, brings a wealth of opportunity for creative development through music and dance.
The tale of loss, bitterness, disappointment, dreams, denial, and underlying love is poignant 
and passionate journey for the audience and artists alike.
