This year Festival Ibérica will also be presenting Ibero-American culture in a variety of forms. Aside from the open air gala concert of Flamenco masters the programme offers creative workshops, a gastronomic fiesta in the city centre, film showings and an exhibition of photographs from Columbia. Alba Molina and Alba Heredia will be appearing.
The festival is opened with the exhibition of the photography of Petr Vít entitled Kolumbie krásná, neznámá (Columbia – Beautiful and Unknown). At the opening of the exhibition there will be a screening of the film Kolumbie, divoká magie (Columbia – Wild Magic). The full-length documentary from 2015 shows Columbia as a land with an exceptional wealth of wildlife and diversity and captures its rare fauna and flora. The next day there will be something that is new this year, a Day of Workshops. “Usually creative workshops spread into more days. The Day of Workshops includes concentrated two-hour lessons of dance, song and guitar led by Spanish artists performing at the gala concert, including the dancer Alba Heredia,” explains the coordinator of the creative workshops Cristina Maria Roa.
Alba Heredia will be performing at the gala concert with her three-member group. She will be presenting her latest project “En estado puro”, which turns to the tradition of her predecessors in passionate expressive dance. The voices of two Flamenco cantors and guitars will be heard accompanied by Flamenco palmas and finger snapping. Alba Heredia comes from the Sacromonte quarter of Granada, which is a synonym for Flamenco.
The festival will be taking place from 28 June to 4 July 2017.
