  Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding) depicts the story of a bride who, on her wedding night, runs away with her former lover, now a married man with a child of his own. The furious groom follows them, and a fight to the death ensues between the two men. Choreographed by Antonio Gades in 1974, this ballet is the essence of the work of Federico Garca Lorca, a poet and playwright whose vision here melded with that of ancient Spain. Suite flamenca consists of seven pieces of traditional flamenco dance, solos, duets and group dances, presented with Gadess own unique insight on the aesthetics of flamenco dance. Gadess interpretation initially described as avant-garde is now considered as classic. With flawless solo performances by Stella Arauzo and Miguel Lara, and artists from the Compaa Antonio Gades, this is a performance to enjoy.

  Antonio Gades last choreographed work, Fuenteovejuna, is a signature piece of purity and precision of Spanish dance. Based on a true event Fuenteovejuna is about the people of a village in Crdoba ruled by a tyrannical commander whose actions of droit de seigneur, violence and abuse engender their intense hatred. One day the villagers choose freedom and they take the law into their own hands. When the villagers are interrogated by a magistrate sent to establish who was responsible, each and every inhabitant only says I. In other words, Fuenteovejuna did it. First performed in 1994 in Genoa, Fuenteovejuna is considered as the ultimate work of Spanish dance, a signature piece of purity and precision.
