Manuel Liñán and Alfonso Losa are contemporary mavericks in the world of flamenco. For this celebratory evening, an all-male cast dance flamenco like you’ve never seen before.
Known for subverting gender roles with his signature flair, Liñán returns to Sadler’s Wells in the wake of the acclaimed ¡VIVA! in 2022. Festival de Jerez Critic’s Choice Award winner, Losa is revered as the most refined and traditional dancer of his generation. Though he is only 27, El Yiyo is a rising star in flamenco with his charisma, authenticity and explosivity.
Also featuring special guest, Carrete de Málaga. Known as “the Gypsy Fred Astaire”, Carrete de Málaga may be 83 years old but he is as youthful and spectacular as ever.
