2012—Present
Past Events
Annually, Flamenco Rosario presents and produces the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival (est. 1990). The festival showcases Canadian and international guest artists through ticketed theatrical performances and free outreach programs.
Each edition offers a range of artistic expressions from traditional to contemporary works that draw on this hybridity, further sharing with audiences the natural progression of rich multicultural influences materializing into multiple and diverse representations of flamenco.
The flamenco arts are and remain hybridized dance and musical art forms, originating from a myriad of different cultures and representing a true melding of expressions for Middle Eastern, Hispanic and Latino cultures at large. As an inherently multicultural hybrid form, influenced by different cultures, it continues to evolve with and through contemporary perspectives. Flamenco Rosario’s mandate and vision prioritize presenting the rich and diverse practices encountered in flamenco art today.
