High-powered, avant-garde flamenco: Romances at London Flamenco Festival

Cristina de Lucas, 22nd March

It is certainly fortunate that this year London Flamenco Festival, which is proudly celebrating its tenth anniversary, has a small section in the programme entitled Beyond Flamenco. Comprising productions and events that offer a less orthodox look at this style of Spanish gypsy-rooted dancing, it complements the all-star programme in the Sadler’s Wells main auditorium.
