About

Heir to the Seville’s school, Galván travelled the four corners of the world as a bailaor until he decided to experiment, dramatize, reinvent flamenco.
In his opinion only “the syllables have changed”, never leaving the same territory of this dance, of his memory, widening the choices of codes that encloses it.
But "La fiesta" brings an about-face. The award-winning artist now decides to return to its essence, to his childhood, a circle of life that closes “as if he had travelled hundreds of miles to return to where he started.”
Back to the tablaos where his parents used to dance, to the flared skirts, to the peinetas that undo at the end of the presentation, the energy of this party begins at the end of the party itself: when roles are exchanged, when a dance is not meant to be seen. The energy infects the audience through music, which has the collaboration of the Greek Byzantine Ensemble Polytropon and highlights the tragic feeling of life and its laments, through the movement one feels even with one’s eyes closed.
