Pocallum — Flamenco

Ciutat Flamenco Barcelona

A spectacular festival where dance is almost more of a protagonist than flamenco itself. A brilliant initiative from Taller de Músics.

Ciutat Flamenco is the Barcelona festival that treats flamenco as what it is: a living art, in permanent evolution, capable of absorbing contemporary dance, audiovisual research and interdisciplinary collaboration without losing its roots.

It started at Nau Bostik, when I photographed the presentation of Vanesa Aibar and the Estampa collective’s Cristalización IV. There I ran into programmer Lluís Cabrera, whom I already knew from Flamenco de Barrio, and with the organisation’s permission I was able to cover the rest of the festival.

Flamenco de Barrio takes flamenco to the street. Literally. Squares, courtyards, everyday spaces in Nou Barris where something that shouldn’t fit suddenly fits perfectly.

Some festivals bring the audience to the artists. Flamenco de Barrio does the opposite: it brings the artists to the people who are already there.

Photographing in natural afternoon light, in spaces not designed for performance, with the audience so close they become part of the image — this is a different school. Here we’ve learnt that the best photograph isn’t always the perfect one.
