LA CUEVA (The Cave) - Fiona Malena Flamenco Ensemble
An imaginative and beautiful journey, inspired by the rich musical tradition and fantastical landforms of Cappadocia, Turkey
Fiona Malena, an international Flamenco dancer and performing artist, developed La Cueva during a creative residency in Turkey this year in collaboration with Flamenco and Sufi musicians. She traveled with London based director Saulo Jamariqueli to photograph sequences in Byzantine rock caves and fairy chimneys for this highly visual production, which tours to the Mary Irwin Theatre on September 18th, 2014.
Dancer Fiona Malena tours worldwide; including in Turkey, Germany, Canada, Israel, Ecuador, Spain, the United States, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Her productions are heavily influenced by world music, integrating instruments in creative and visually stunning dance works. Fiona has been choreographing new works for the stage for over 10 years and most recently toured "Puertas" (2013) to sold-out audiences.
In addition to dance, featured musicians include Istanbul/Madrid based guitarist Álvaro Antona Villar, Ney flautist Esref Berk Tukoglu (Istanbul), percussionist Mehmed Mert Baycan (Istanbul), and award winning singer Juan Fariña (Spain). fionamalena.com
