El Gran Inquisidor

A flamenco gala at the Teatre Poliorama in Barcelona that explores different palos of the genre, with singers, dancers and musicians on stage and choreographies by companies from Catalonia and Spain.

This is a flamenco gala that combines singing, dance and music in a succession of numbers. The choreographies have been created by dance companies from Catalonia and Spain, and the production is conceived as a journey through the art of flamenco, recognised as intangible heritage of humanity.

The show moves through several palos, that is, different rhythmic patterns: the bulería, festive and joyful in character; the soleá, solemn and intense; the alegría, dynamic and light-hearted; as well as the tango, the guajira and the farruca. On stage are the guitarists Juan Gómez "Chicuelo", Luis Santiago "Tati Amaya", Albert Caro and Diego del Chicuelo, the violinist Carlos Caro and the percussionist Jacobo Sánchez.

The singing is performed by La Tana, Ana Brenes, Joaquín "El Duende" and Ana Colom, and the dancing by Eli Ayala, Lorena Oliva, Marina Walpercin, Nacho Blanco, Vanesa Gálvez, Mathilde Antón and "El Tete". Eli Ayala also serves as artistic director, while the musical direction is by Juan Gómez "Chicuelo" and Luis Santiago "Tati Amaya". The show is performed in Spanish and presents the new generation of Catalan artists.
