Three bailaoras display their latest creations at the 2010 London Flamenco Festival. Eva Yerbabuena presents ‘Lluvia’, her ode to melancholy premiered at the past Festival de Jerez. María Pagés sings ‘Autorretrato’, a creative review of her own biography as an artist. And Rafaela Carrasco evokes the folk songs of Lorca and La Argentinita in ‘Vamos al tiroteo’. The opening and closing shows cry out for renewal. Nuevo Ballet Español, the company directed by Ángel Rojas and Carlos Rodríguez, mixes traditional and contemporary styles of Spanish dancing in ‘Cambio de tercio’. Then as the bill’s final touch, the gala ‘Todo cambia’ brings together four young talents of today’s flamenco dancing: Rocío Molina, Manuel Liñán, Pastora Galván and Belén López. The festival is to be held at Sadler’s Wells from February 13th to 27th, 2010.
