Mi Luna flamenca presents its special show of breathtaking dance, passionate song, and virtuoso guitar every Friday afternoon at five, at the Santa Ana Theater in the Biblioteca Publica.
The term “flamenco” is an apparent contradiction – fiercely individual – but only having meaning within the spirit of the whole group. The special flavor of flamenco is highly personal to the interpreting artist. The result within the group comes from the collective feelings and the accumulated joys and melancholy affecting each member by the singer, the guitarist, and the dancers.
When a song or a dance contains those extra qualities that esthetically enhance, it is said to have “aire” – breath. “Aire” is one of those calls shouted to the performer. With a magic quality it transports the dancer in that battle with the body that gives meaning and energy to flamenco dances.
Most of all, “aire” is that air which we all breath, giving life and meaning to all existence. In addition, that breathtaking possibility of flight through the air, shared alike by dancers and spectators gives added meaning to the expression “olé!” heard repeatedly during every flamenco performance.
As a dancer, within my whole being, flamenco is an affirmation of my own ability in life to survive through that expressive richness that is flamenco.
