The enfant terrible of Flamenco, Rocío Molina brings her masterwork, Fallen from Heaven (Caída del Cielo) to Vancouver. Channeling multiple incarnations—fetishistic matador, bloodied avenging angel—Molina crushes expectations, reinventing classical form with anarchic punk energy and polymorphous perversity.
Since bursting onto the international stage, Molina has revolutionized Flamenco and galvanized audiences. A fearless performer, she conjures images that recall both the natural world and the ruffled beauty of the human body. In Fallen from Heaven, Molina’s mastery of contrast is on full display. Accompanied by four male musicians, she moves in thunder and stillness. Powered by avant-garde theatricality, peerless technique, and a gonzo sense of humour, Molina summons the deepest stuff of life—blood and earth, ferocity and fragility—demanding audiences bear witness to her acts of radical creation.
Flamenco Rosario is very proud to be part of bringing this extraordinary work here for the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival and the launch of Dance House’s next season. A production by: DANZA MOLINA S.L. / CHAILLOT NATIONAL THEATRE (PARIS). In collaboration with the INAEM | Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música. Co-presented with DanceHouse and SFU Woodward’s Cultural Programs. Presented with the generous support of The Simons Foundation Canada.
