National Institute of Flamenco and the NHCC present Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: Rafaela Carrasco y compañía: “Nocturna.” Nocturna is a flamenco performance that delves into the mysteries of the night, exploring themes of insomnia, dreams, and the passage of time. Choreographed and directed by Rafaela Carrasco, with dramaturgy by Álvaro Tato, the show journeys through the emotional and psychological landscapes of sleepless nights.
Combining dance, music, and poetry, Nocturna evokes the contradictions of the night: tranquility and madness, love and fear, dream and nightmare. The production features a rich interplay of live flamenco singing, piano, and electronic music, inspired by J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, silences, and original compositions.
The dancers navigate moments of solitude and togetherness on stage, reflecting the transformation and movement the night imposes on the human spirit. It is a poetic, deeply evocative experience that strips the soul bare, revealing the most intimate emotions hidden in darkness.
Nocturna is an ambitious work, seamlessly blending tradition and modernity to reimagine flamenco’s emotional and artistic possibilities
