Yemaya Flamenco – Latinidades 6th Annual Theatre Festival

The 6th Annual Latinidades Festival & Symposium features six mainstage productions and various second-stage performances spanning theatre, dance, music, and poetry to highlight diverse Latin American voices. This year’s lineup includes the legendary Chicano theatre of the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center (San Antonio), Venezuelan artists from Chicago, and a play written and directed by one of Latin America’s most important writers, Arístides Vargas. Additional performances will showcase artists from Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Dallas’s own creative community.

Experience the exhilarating world premiere of Yemaya Flamenco, a dynamic collaboration between four companies representing the cultures of Spain, Mexico, and New Orleans.

Yemaya Flamenco is an unforgettable celebration of what connects Spain, Latin America, and the American South — music, song, and dance. Inspired by the goddess Yemaya, who journeys from Africa to Spain and across the Atlantic to the Americas, the work explores the African roots of Flamenco, the Caribbean, and New Orleans traditions.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind dance extravaganza!
