Flamenc Oh!! Yllana Productions
Freesheet
Flamenc Oh!! is a new creation by the Yllana company in co-production with Sadler’s Wells in London.
World-class flamenco with a wild twist, this brand-new dance comedy sees physical theatre collide with the passion and power of flamenco. However, this is not a parody of flamenco, it’s an irreverent tribute. The traditional art form is respected, while the rigidity surrounding it is questioned. It combines cultural authenticity with broad physical humour, making it accessible to audiences with or without prior knowledge of flamenco. The show is delivered with Yllana’s signature visual humour and fast-paced theatricality.
A strict flamenco patriarch rules his traditional family with an iron hand, where customs and tradition are the law. But the arrival of a new guitarist, bringing fresh musical influences, shakes the very foundations of the clan, leading to hilarious situations and unexpected consequences.
