Tres Artes – The Painter & the Poet

Flamenco Fever’s insightful Fusion Series will present Tres Artes:  The Painter and the Poet, a story of Forbidden Love.

As part of the 2024 season of Elevator Project at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, local students, international musicians and dancers took the stage at Strauss Square to tell the tragic love story of painter Salvador Dalí and martyred Spanish poet, playwright and flamenco aficionado, Federico Garcia Lorca.

Join us for an evening of conceptual choreography, elegant costuming and incredible music as we delve deeply into the provocative history of Spain and the rise of Surrealism, the LGBTQ community and the Fascist Franconian Regime in the early 20th century.  War scene pyrotechnics provided by Fempyre.

Pintura, Poesia y Pasion combines four dynamic art forms – live music, dance and the recitation of Garcia Lorca’s poetry – into an unforgettable performance. In this sophisticated evening. The Cast includes Julia Alcantara – Local Director/Producer as “La Argentinita”, Jorge Robledo (Argentina) as “Lorca” and Joseph Gonzales (Albuquerque) as “Salvador Dali”.

Flamenco Fever produces nearly 70 performances annually, each accompanied by requisite live music. They landed Dallas on the world map last summer when they were  the first American company in Spanish history to be invited to perform. Hundreds of flamenco aficionados, and Spain’s top artists, enthusiastically received the show.
