Festival Ballet Albuquerque: Billy the Kid & Other Tall Tales

7:00 pm Friday
2:00 pm & 7:00 pm Saturday
Billy the Kid, Blue Jean Blues, Southwest FolkTails, & Giselle
Festival Ballet Albuquerque presents an original production of Billy the Kid, a ballet telling the story of Billy from childhood until his death at age 22, true to historical accuracy as anyone knows. The ballet has an ensemble of cowboys, townspeople, dance hall girls, and the important people in Billy’s life, including his beloved Mother, John Tunstall, J.J. Dolan, love interest Maria, and of course, Sheriff Pat Garrett.

The evening begins with the music of the Mystic Vic Blues Band playing live onstage with the FBA professional dancers in Blue Jean Blues choreographed by Patricia Dickinson Wells. A new children’s ballet, Southwest FolkTails is based on families of New Mexican “critters” sporting tails with character costumes expertly designed and constructed by master craftsman, Joe Moncada. Imagine hummingbirds, quails, coyotes, snakes, and roosters!
The evening ends with the classical 18th century ballet, Giselle (in One Act) complete with village scenes, beautiful costumes, and scenery. The epic ballet premiered in 1841, but most of the versions today are based on the revivals by choreographer Marius Petipa in the early 20th century. Set to music by composer Adolphe Adam, the epic story follows the tragically short life of Giselle through love, heartache, death, and the after-death where she is summoned from her grave by the vengeful, deadly sisterhood of the Willis who are unmarried women who died after being betrayed by their lover. Giselle’s great love for her betrayer, Albrecht, saves him from sure death by the Willis, and thus saves herself from becoming one of them.
Come ½ hour early before showtime and enjoy a pre-concert performance by Mystic Vic Blues Band!
$14, $20, $29, $39 & $49 w/ a $2 discount for seniors and children 10 years old and younger

FLAMENCO FANDANGUERO seeks to place in conversation distinct art forms that share a common ancestor, and create an unforgettable work of art. Reuniting the “primos hermanos” first cousins of flamenco and son jarocho, this captivating performance explores 21st century mestizaje, and Indo-Hispano, Chicano, and Latino identities and shared histories through flamenco and jarocho. Ultimately the work endeavors to create a unique and transcendent musical and dance experience that showcases the shared humanity and cosmic essence of son jarocho and flamenco, celebrating the beauty of our complex cultures and histories through the power, energy, and excitement of Flamenco.
This project was made possible by a National Dance Project grant.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 37: Eduardo Guerrero: Bailar no es Solo Bailar
2024-06-24 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Eduardo Guerrero y Compañía in the U.S. premiere of Bailar no es Solo Bailar.
The incredible Cádiz-born Eduardo Guerrero brings Bailar no es Solo Bailar to the stage, a work full of profound expression. Guerrero aims to dive into the basics in a humble, simple way, without distracting artifacts and observe what happens when we let the minimal invade us, that innocent dance of the beginning returns to our body – what happens when we eliminate all the subterfuge to see how the body beats and honestly gives into itself to blur and melt. He returns to Flamenco as catharsis, as a language to unburden the heart and let the soul free. To return to Flamenco as a collective communion and sacred meeting, as a vehicle that brought us to the here and now and from which we will return to the before.
$55, $70, $85, $100 & $115
* This price includes a $4/ticket NHCC fee

National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Mercedes de Córdoba y Compañía in Sí, Quiero
Considered one of the most powerful and authentic dancers of her generation, Mercedes de Córdoba brings her celebratory personal work to the U.S. for the first time. Sí, Quiero is a categorical answer that admits no doubt. An anachronistic oath, and a forceful and necessary cry that vindicates commitment as a revolutionary act. This beautiful work reaffirms the act of wanting through an artistic discovery of what one is and what one feels. It presents a ceremony that celebrates life, a victory, a toast.
$55, $70, $85, $100 & $115
* This price includes a $4/ticket NHCC fee
