Batácora

What happens when soulful and untamed flamenco singing, electric bass, vigorous drums and two dancers in batas de cola meet? Come and find out! Batácora offers a robust dialogue between dance and music on its fall tour.

Batácora is a contemporary flamenco piece by dance artists Maija Lepistö and Marja Rautakorpi combining live music and dance that draws from the flamenco tradition by playing with the relationships between its different elements.
