Directed and created by Chiara Mangiameli, whom the
Chicago Tribune hailed as a "formidable flamenco dancer" for her work
alongside Rick Bayless in the 2012 Lookingglass Theater production of
Cascabel, "Quejios - Cries In The Air" is inspired by the emotional
range and power of the flamenco voice.
Showcasing the traditional songs and dances of Andalusia thread together by original poetry from Madrid-based writer Luis Lorente and soundscapes designed by Static Studios, the show will take audiences on a journey from the joy and sensuality of a "cantinas" to the sorrowful, unrelenting rhythm of a "seguiriya" all the while showcasing the talents of student dancers, from the novice to the most advanced, alongside Chiara Mangiameli performing her new solo work. Featuring some of Chicago's best flamenco and world music musicians, this year will also add guest singer and Seville native Alfonso Cid to the line-up. Other performers will include Carlo Basile and Diego Alonso on guitars and Bob Garrett on percussion.
Performances will take place at the Vittum Theater (at Adventure Stage Chicago), 1012 N Noble Street in Chicago, on May 31st and June 1st at 8pm. A June 2nd performance at 5pm will be followed by a show discussion and meet and greet with the artists. Tickets are $25 and $15 for children ages12 and under.
