May 4, 7pm @ ANNEX Theatre
Get Your Tickets

An intimate evening of flamenco solos performed by the most talented dancers, representing the vibrant next generation of flamenco in Vancouver—Katia Flores, Yurie Kaneko, Charo Tsai, and Jessica Oryall— accompanied by a stelar group of musicians: Davide Sampaolo, Gareth Owen, and Jafelin Palacios.

The concept of regeneration speaks to renewal and transformation in the face of changing circumstances. Through this performance, we aim to showcase the new Canadian generation, where a blend of cultures and backgrounds come together to build a new language and foster a deeper understanding between cultures, symbols, and signs.

Apr 2022
This year’s Regeneration show presents three solos choreographed by graduates of the Professional Training Program, Yurie Kaneko, Katia Flores and Deborah Dawson:

Yurie and Katia have developed their solos through one-on-one mentorships with Artistic Director Rosario Ancer. They use flamenco as a tool to explore their Japanese and Peruvian ancestry, connecting the dots between their culture, traditions and experiences in Canada, presenting “who I am” today as an individual and dancer. Deborah Dawson returns to Vancouver to share a sincere ode to the essence of flamenco. It is a minimalist and heartfelt production led by dancer Deborah “La Caramelita” and singer Alejandro Mendía.
