Featuring nationally acclaimed dancers and musicians, the flamenco spectacular Circe’s Chords will premiere on the Central Coast on September 14 after a string of sold-out Sydney shows.
Presented by Chachy Peñalver Company, Circe’s Chords features an eight-piece ensemble which delivers a powerful and contemporary interpretation of flamenco.
The show is a vibrant tapestry of music, dance and literature, showcasing four dancers, two guitarists, a singer and a percussionist/keyboardist.
Inspired by the Greek mythical character Circe, the performance explores: the potent feminine creative energy inherent in every flamenco composition; the dynamic interplay between dancers and musicians on stage and the ability of this dialogue to evoke deep physical and emotional responses from the audience.
The show’s four ARIA-nominated and award-winning musicians offer a distinctive take on the ancient art of flamenco with a blend of flamenco, jazz, and Latin-American roots woven together with a compelling dance narrative expressed through powerful movements and intricate percussive footwork.
Chachy Peñalver, a celebrated soloist and award-winning producer and director, founded her company in 2022.
She is also the director of The Sydney Flamenco Studio and has been recognised for her choreographic work at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (Best Overall Dance 2022, Best Dance Weekly Award 2016, 2018, 2019) and the Darwin Fringe Festival 2022 (Best Dance show).
She has studied flamenco and contemporary dance in Venezuela and Spain, beginning her dance journey at the age of seven.
She has assembled a first-class ensemble of musicians and dancers.
Circe’s Chords will be performed at the Laycock Street Theatre, North Gosford, for one night only at 7pm on September 14.
