Saturday May 11, 8:00 P.M.

At Colony Theater – 1040 Lincoln Rd. Miami Beach 33139

The Cultural Center of Spain and the Miami Dade-County Auditorium present FlamenGO with Paula Rodríguez Flamenco Company.

Flamenco dancer Paula Rodríguez Lázaro will present her show El latir del mantón in Miami as part of the CCEMiami FLamenGO program presented with the Miami Dade County Auditorium, this year, as part of its “Away from Home Series.”

Paula, who won in 2021 the first prize in the modality of Desplante in the International Flamenco Festival of Cante de las Minas, with a sublime Taranto is accompanied on Stage by the outstanding flamenco singer José Plantón Heredia “José del Calli”, also winner in 2022 of the first prize of “Seguirillas” in the prestigious festival.

In the words of the dancer: “If the beating of the heart is fundamental to living, the “Mantón” gives life and strength to my dance. The “Mantón” is my axis, it protects me, covers me and expands me. Sometimes loyal and meek, other times rebellious and reluctant.”

El latir del Mantón is a show where singing, guitar and percussion accompany the dancer Paula Rodríguez on a sensory journey that only flamenco can create, to turn this show into an hour of magic and genuinely Spanish art.
