This original flamenco performance depicts the personal and ancestral journey of a Sephardic woman from her family’s expulsion from Spain, to their life in Persia, to her return to Spain as a flamenco dancer. Created and performed by acclaimed flamenco dancer Leilah Broukhim, this highly personal work is an intimate expression of Ms. Broukhim’s roots, her personal journey and the history of her people. Accompanied by Sephardic, Ladino and Persian music performed by a Spanish ensemble, the result is a moving and unforgettable work of music, dance and art, which reminds us that the traces of our past define our present and our future. U.S. Premiere of the full production of Dejandro Huellas, parts of which were previewed last year at 92Y as a work in progress.
Part of the Flamenco Festival USA 2012
