'Lorce Es Flamenco' Mother's Day Show by the St. Louis Cultural Flamenco Society
When: Sun., May 14, 2 & 7 p.m. 2023
The new project from the St. Louis Cultural Flamenco Society is one of the company’s most ambitious yet: choreographing original dances to illustrate select works of Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. Audiences can experience the moving poems, songs, and dances in two performances on Mother’s Day, May 14, at the Westport Playhouse in Westport Plaza.
“Lorca Es Flamenco” underscores the famed writer’s lifelong love of music as well as his advocacy for marginalized groups in Spain and around the world. It also touches on universal themes like unrequited love, war, and death, but also hope and happiness.
