On the occasion of Spain's national fiesta, renowned ballerina Cristina Hoyos will perform a series of flamenco shows titled “Poemas Flamencos” in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with the support of the Embassy of Spain. The performances will include two major shows at the Hanoi Opera House and Saigon Opera House at 8:00 PM on the 12th and 14th of October respectively, along with a special performance at Melia Hanoi Hotel on the 10th of October.
A representative of the embassy has revealed that the performances will feature three popular flamenco plays from Spain: “Viaje al Sur” (A trip to the South), “Romancero Gitano” (Gypsy Ballads), and “Poema del Cante Jondo” (Poem of Cante Jondo). These performances are choreographed exclusively for the Vietnamese audience and will be presented by five dancers under original music inspired by the works of famous Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca.
Cristina Hoyos is recognized as a leading figure in the flamenco world. This dancer, choreographer, and actress from Seville has enjoyed a prolific career, achieving numerous accolades. In 1988, she established her own flamenco troupe named “Ballet Cristina Hoyos” to further cultivate her artistic legacy.
Flamenco is a unique blend of music and dance that originated in Andalucía, Spain, in the 18th century. It is characterized by the rapid rhythms of guitar and percussion, alongside the captivating movements of dancers that echo the grace of matadors. In 2010, UNESCO recognized Flamenco as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.”
