ENTERTAINMENT DAILY: ENT5- PURA PASION

(9 Mar 2001) Span/Eng/Nat STORY: WORLD PREMIERE OF "PURA PASION" LOCATION: LONDON DATE: 6TH MARCH 2001 PURA PASION, the explosive new ensemble Flamenco show from CRISTOBAL REYES and LOLA GRECO, may have divided London's dance critics, but sell out shows throughout March are proof positive that it's a real crowd pleaser. The new show, which had its world premiere on 28th February at London's Peacock Theatre, injects a smoulderingly contemporary edge and hi-tech style to the ancient art of Flamenco. A cast of twenty-four dancers and musicians combine to create a dance spectacular that unites tradition and innovation in equal measure to produce a completely original form of Flamenco. All of the traditional influences of Flamenco, from the North African and Jewish rhythms of Moorish Spain to the dance movements of Northern India are fused together into one seamless show, Pura Pasion, or Pure Passion. Moorish choruses, stringed instruments, African percussion and even Gregorian chant, which appears halfway through the show, power a heady array of tangos, tarantos, bulerias, soleas and male ferrucas as well as the more traditional flamenco. CRISTOBAL REYES and composers Diego Carrasco and Jesus Bola have been at the forefront of contemporary Flamenco for many years now, opening the ancient dance form to innovation and modern interpretation. Cristobal Reyes is co-producer of the show together with his nephew Joaquin Cortes. A dance prodigy himself, he began his professional career at the age of 14. He was a dancer/choreographer with Joaquin Cortes in Pasion Gitana and is regarded by the younger man as something of a mentor. LOLA GRECO became Pricipal Dancer at the Spanish National Ballet when she was just 19. She's toured extensively in the USA and Europe. In Pura Pasion she fuses ballet with Flamenco creating the latest hybrid dance. RAFAELA CARRASCO is one of Flamenco's best known stars. Since 1991 she has danced with the Compania de Flamenco de Mario Maya and the Compania de Flamenco de Belen Maya. She teaches Flamenco and gives solo performances all over the world. The show runs at the Peacock Theater until March 17th. It will tour but the itinerary has yet to be decided.
