The Pearls of Flamenco is a solo-led piece about a truth women are rarely invited to claim: that the feminine can be deeply powerful, sensual, embodied, aggressive, soft, humorous and passionate all at once, but most importantly emotionally honest and from the gut.
It will be held at The New Local, 713 Pearl Street in Boulder, a nonprofit collective that champions local women and nonbinary artists while building bridges between those creators and the wider community. That setting matters. Flamenco was born among the marginalized, and for generations it has carried women’s grief, fire, desire and defiance. Sharing that legacy in an intimate, safe space, close enough to feel in the body, lets the audience experience it as something that lives in their own bodies rather than a spectacle to watch from a distance.
Because this project exists to empower the community, the event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, so come early.
