Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía: Pineda
2025-06-20 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:30 pm
NHCC | Albuquerque Journal Theatre
National Institute of Flamenco and the NHCC present Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía: “PINEDA.” Federico García Lorca wrote Mariana Pineda “at barely twenty years old and with a strong romantic flavor,” as he stated in an interview after its first premiere. However, the origins of the play trace back to the poet’s childhood in Granada and young Federico’s encounter with the bronze statue of the liberal heroine, “proud upon the column, her hair loose, her gaze fixed on the sky, clutching the flag of liberty against her body.” Lorca also recalled himself holding hands with other children, singing the verses of a popular ballad “in a melancholic tone, which seemed tragic to me.” Early in his career as a playwright, the poet felt the poetic imperative to transform that “profound childhood impression” into a theatrical work.
“There are a thousand different Marianas of Pineda. The heroic Mariana, the motherly Mariana, the Mariana in love, the embroidering Mariana, but I wasn’t going to ‘create’ them all.” This is how Federico García Lorca described his protagonist after the 1927 premiere of the play. Among all these possible Marianas, we have chosen to focus on the one Lorca himself evoked: “a woman of deep Spanish roots, who sings of love and freedom in the verses of her life in a way that captures the universal essence of these two great sentiments,” embodying “freedom itself.”
In her debut as Artistic Director of the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, Granada-born Patricia Guerrero takes on the challenge of giving body and soul to Pineda. This version explores the full spiritual and expressive power of Lorca’s dramatic poem. Accompanied by an exceptional team, Patricia Guerrero delivers a vibrant and electrifying Pineda, both rooted in Granada and universal, and unequivocally flamenco. A dramatic poem brought to life through dance because, in Federico’s own words, “the stage can only be emotion and poetry: in the word, in the action, and in the gesture.”
$69, $83, $99, $113 & $129. *Price includes the NHCC’s $4 fee.

*All NHCC performance/event ticket sales go through the National Hispanic Cultural Center Website. NHCC is a division of New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía: Tierra Bendita
2025-06-21 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:30 pm
NHCC | Albuquerque Journal Theatre
National Institute of Flamenco and the NHCC present Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía: “Tierra Bendita.” From Andalusia, the birthplace of Flamenco, Tierra Bendita presents a journey through the picturesque landscapes of this southern Spanish region, showcasing its most iconic songs and dances. This production bridges tradition and modernity, blending 18th-century aesthetics with contemporary art.
Tierra Bendita unveils a flamenco world without restraint, celebrating the new generation of creators while revealing the artist’s raw essence to the audience. Directed by Patricia Guerrero, recipient of Spain’s National Dance Award in 2021, and performed by the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet, the piece is a masterful work rich in detail. It reimagines structures while respecting traditional forms, offering a multidisciplinary experience where every element stands strong on its own yet contributes seamlessly to the whole.
$69, $83, $99, $113 & $129. *Price includes the NHCC’s $4 fee.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: Rafaela Carrasco y compañía: Nocturna
2025-06-22 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:30 pm
NHCC | Albuquerque Journal Theatre
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
$59, $73, $89, $103 & $119. *Price includes the NHCC’s $4 fee.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: David Coria y compañía: Los Bailes Robados
2025-06-26 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:30 pm
NHCC | Albuquerque Journal Theatre
National Institute of Flamenco and the NHCC present Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: David Coria y compañía: “Los Bailes Robados.” Set in a forest that shifts between chaos and sublime beauty—a place of broken bodies and starry skies—Los Bailes Robados invites you to enter, feel the earth, and tread fallen leaves with dancing steps. It beckons you to become a dancing being, moving endlessly with freedom, embracing the dance as a gift.
This ensemble creation blends political critique with social advocacy. Dancers traverse the stage in a journey from hysteria and uncontrolled frenzy to dramatic stillness and harmony, embodying a collective soul that births a new, fluid entity. The musicians amplify these cries, urging the bodies to exorcise their dance, denounce oppression, and invoke liberty—crying out for the woman, the mad, the different, the witch.
Infused with Spanish dance, flamenco, and avant-garde spontaneity, the work questions societal norms and codes over time. Using choreography, theater, imagery, music, and sound, it explores the depth of contemporary flamenco’s artistic potential in the 21st century.
$59, $73, $89, $103 & $119. *Price includes the NHCC’s $4 fee.

Join us at the Center on Saturday, July 12 for the National Spanish Spelling Bee. The National Spanish Spelling Bee is open to students in grades 4 through 8 who have placed in a state or regional Spanish Spelling Bee during the year of the National Bee.
Participants are encouraged to prepare using the official study materials, which include a list of words and rules for the competition. The event aims to help children develop self-confidence, communication skills, and the ability to perform under pressure.
