Review: La Curva
Review by Ann Hunt 28th Feb 2014
Israel Galvan has been aptly called the Nijinsky of flamenco.
Like Nijinsky, he is a magnificent dancer and a revolutionary choreographer.
La Curva is an extraordinary production in which Galvan deconstructs traditional flamenco and dances to a fusion of traditional Spanish folk music and a contemporary piano score. On stage with him and making the evening a delight for the ears as well as the eyes, is the Swiss jazz and contemporary music pianist, Sylvie Courvoisier, percussionist Bobote and acclaimed Andalusian Gypsy singer Ines Bacan. You can forget any other flamenco you may have seen. This is something else. It is a soul collaboration.
