Cádiz de la Frontera at Lobero Theatre

The Flamenco Arts Festival takes great pride in presenting a unique flamenco production, Cádiz de la Frontera, in its American debut. Rarely does the stage give us an opportunity to delve into the intimate lives of performers and share in their emotions and their unwavering belief in the common character of people and the freedom of artistic expression, regardless of the place of origin. The award-winning flamenco artists Andrés Peña and Pilar Ogalla have taken aspects of their personal lives and transformed them into a flamenco stage production of a most moving love story. Peña, born in Jerez de la Frontera, and Ogalla, born in Cádiz, infused a stage production with their singular and unifying love, and in the process melded the two cities, and themselves, into one, and thus the title of the production, Cádiz de la Frontera. It promises to be an evening of dance, music and artistic self-revelation and the Festival invites all flamenco aficionados to join us in celebrating 12 years of world-class flamenco in Santa Barbara.
