Flamenco, Flamenco!
Ricardo Garcia's Flamenco Flow
From the first stamp I was bowled over by this amazing flamenco dancer, even though the first outfit of bright turquoise skirt, brown and green polka dot scarf and brown jacket came as a sorry surprise. If it is Spanish music and song that you like then this acclaimed production cannot fail to please, though however good the music is, it is La Clara's dancing that the audience are waiting for and the large gaps before her reappearances are frustrating. But, stripped of touristy gimmicks - with minimal set and lack of cheesy expressions - you cannot help but feel you're getting the real deal here and with brief explanations before certain songs and dances, this show offers a complete experience.
Pleasance Dome, 30 Jul - 24 Aug, 8.20pm (9.20pm), prices vary, fpp 115
