Introduction
For those engulfed in darkness, a single beam of light can illuminate their way.

Have you ever felt this way? No matter how hard you struggle, search, roar, or rage, you just can't find an exit, as if you're being swallowed by endless darkness. The helplessness and fear within you grow stronger. At such times, even the faintest glimmer of light is better than seeing no hope at all. If you are experiencing such darkness, may the work La alborá brought to you by the Shanghai FUEGO Flamenco, provide you with some strength. May it give you the courage to break through all the constraints of reality, grasp this "glimmer," and light up your own sky.

 

 

 

-La alborá- is a flamenco show performed by the Shanghai FUEGO Flamenco Dance Company. The performance will not only present Flamenco dances with different styles and emotional expressions, but also showcase the wonderful combination of various Flamenco props, such as long tail skirts, shawls, fans, canes, and castanets. Through the classic flamenco performance, you will feel the passion of singers, guitarists and dancers.

 

A Dance Feast of 9 Flamenco Works
With last year's Aurora setting a high bar, the Shanghai FUEGO Flamenco has spared no effort on their new work La alborá, carefully selecting nine flamenco dance pieces, each with a unique style, allowing the audience to experience the richness and variability of flamenco rhythms across different performances—whether it's a gentle slow dance or a passionate, graceful, and free-spirited one.

 

 

Apart from showcasing flamenco dances with different forms, styles, and emotional expressions, the show will include all the iconic flamenco props such as long-tail skirts, large shawls, fans, canes, and castanets. Through the vivid interpretations of the dancers, you will feel the perfect harmony between props, dance, and music. The "chemical reaction" between singers, guitarists, and dancers will make the audience feel as if they are on the streets of a Spanish marketplace.
