Cross-Cultural Performance 'Algarabía' Premieres in Pamplona and Abu Dhabi

A new collaborative performance titled 'Algarabía' will debut in Pamplona on March 27-28, 2024, followed by a presentation at the Abu Dhabi Festival on April 26. The production is a joint initiative between the Museo Universidad de Navarra and the Khawla Art & Culture Foundation from the United Arab Emirates. Created to mark the 150th anniversary of composer Manuel de Falla's birth, the work blends flamenco and Arabic music, dance, and poetry. It features choreography by Jesús Carmona, music by Ihab Darwish and Josema García Hormigo, and direction by Ignacio García and Jihad Mikhael. The narrative follows a cultural exchange between Spanish and Arab characters, exploring themes of connection and nature.
