VIVA!

"VIVA!" features male dancers wearing traditionally female costumes, exposing the many expressions of identity alive within every human body. This creation by Manuel Liñan is an ode to freedom of movement, where the feminine is embraced from within masculine body as its own; where gender roles, in a codified world like flamenco, are abolished, and embraced with passion and joy.

Liñán’s gift is transcendental. He awakens rhythms, images, wildest possibilities of dance, and banishes the predictabilities of sitting in a theatre watching carefully staged flamenco – The Financial Times, UK
