The 6th Annual Toronto International
Flamenco Festival creates a breathtaking experience, bringing
together explosive traditional flamenco with a taste of the
unexpected by the most innovative and critically acclaimed
performers from Spain and Canada. This year’s festival features one
of the most awarded artists from Spain and abroad; Rafaela Carrasco,
in her first appearance in Canada, in her show Vamos al Tiroteo.
This show won two major awards at the Biennal of Flamenco of
Seville: BEST Prize Giraldillo Dancer and Press Prize for the Best
Choreography. Critics have raved about this show:
“The applause meter reached its peak. It reached that level which,
fuelled by foot stomping, clapping and even olés to the beat, is
only achieved two or three times throughout the festival.”
Silvia Calado, Jerez, Spain
“Carrasco gives flamenco an exciting but respectful twist.”
Karen Campbell, The Boston Globe
