BALLET FLAMENCO SARA BARAS

DANCE SPAIN
“ Fast , fierce and controlled .”
~ THE GUARDIAN
“ Sara Baras is one of those performers you just can ’ t take your eyes off .”
~ THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE
At one end is birth , at the other is death . Everything in between is just dancing .
Flamenco is in the blood of Sara Baras : since her earliest lessons as a child taught by her mother , she has channelled the energies that have led her to the most prestigious stages in the world today . A cultural icon in Spain , the first lady of flamenco marries ferocious footwork with flowing grace .
Steeped in tradition but drawn in countless directions by influences across history , flamenco is a form as restless and irresistible as the spirit of its homeland . Voces is Baras ’ salute to the maestros who have shaped her gift , and a tribute to the art of flamenco itself .
Featuring 14 dancers and musicians , this lavish , large-scale production will lead you back to where it all begins : the human heart .
