PRESS RELEASE (6/08/2015)
Friday, August 7, a Loano in the’Prince's Garden Summer Arena, the dance review, promoted by the’Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the City of Loano and organized by the I.So THeatre with the artistic direction of Luca Malvicini, will host the Flamenco Vivo Company.
At 9:30 pm, will be staged “Vente conmigo”, a show that combines music and dance, drawing the audience into the most authentic atmosphere of today's baile flamenco without neglecting the past tradition of the great masters.
Founded in 1998, the Flamenco Vivo company has brought together qualified artists from the national and Spanish flamenco scene, under the leadership of Lara Ribichini Artistic director, prima ballerina and choreographer and Dario Carbonelli bailaor and choreographer. In this performance it will feature seven dancers and five musicians.
”Vente conmigo”, a customary phrase of the flamenco cante is an invitation to follow a guided path, where the expressive power of flamenco lives on with dance solos and compact, choral movements of the entire company.
Flamenco as life, as feelings, as heart, as pain and as joy. Each step by Dario Carbonelli and Lara Ribichini knows how to express its own duende.
Dario Carbonelli, “zapateado” gives the audience his pressing force, and the rhythm of the feet, of the shoes that beat on the stage are music. The whole body is music. There is her artistic life in those dance steps: classical school at the National Academy of Dance in Rome, then the discovery and passion for flamenco. Continued research, studies in Italy and Spain, meetings with Joaquin Cortes and Manolete and many other big names in the flamenco world. The achievements, always as first dancer and as soloist in prestigious companies, then the meeting with Lara Ribichini, a lifelong lover and scholar of flamenco (including with Caterina Lucia Costa, among others) and the birth of Flamenco Vivo.
On the stage Lara Ribichini flanks him, sensual, passionate, sweet, determined. The very difficult steps are rendered lightly, with extreme ease as a liberating act of the self.
