Madrid trained dancer/choreographer Virginia Iglesias returns to the
Red Poppy with a special night of flamenco music and dance,
premiering new works with collaborator, composer and musical director
Jorge Liceaga. Special guest
artist Jordan-born percussionist/singer Rami Ziadeh, fuses Middle
Eastern/Indian music with flamenco creating a unique sound. Joining
voices with flamenco singer Azriel, "El Moreno" this vocal duet
evokes sounds reminiscent of
ancient Spain and Moorish coexistence. Recently returning from Spain,
Ms. Iglesias will premiere 2 new choreographies this night. Receiving
recognition for high artistic standards, creativity and innovation,
her choreographies have been commissioned by several artistic
organizations including the San Francisco Opera's Merola Program, San
Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, Chinese Performing Artists of
America and Tahoe Tallac Association's Summer Arts and Music Festival.
