Fuego Brings Flamenco Dance to Kean University
UNION, N.J. ––– The Alborada Spanish Dance
Theatre Company will bring the passion of Iberian dance to life with their
new flamenco-dance production, Fuego, on Saturday, April 30,
at 7:30 p.m. at Kean University’s Wilkins Theatre, located at 1000
Morris Avenue in Union, N.J.
The dancers, singers and musicians of the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre
Company fuse the traditions of traditional Spanish flamenco with the evolving
spirit of dance in Fuego, which also features guest artist Edwin
Aparicio, world-renowned dancer and choreographer. This is the newest
work to be presented by the company, which was originally founded in 1965
by María Alba, known to many aficionados as being the greatest
exponent of the seguiriya and many other Spanish dance drama
pieces in the Unites States. Today, the company is comprised of extraordinary
dancers and choreographers who remain true to the company’s original
mission of allowing audiences to experience the breathtaking richness
and beauty of all Spanish dance art forms in their full context.
Funding for the Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre Company for this performance
is provided in part by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the American
Music Center. Tickets are $25 for the general public and $15 for children.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call the Kean University
Wilkins Theatre Box Office at 908-737-SHOW (7469). Black-and-white and
color images are available upon request.
