(Caída del Cielo) Fallen from Heaven Tickets

Presented by: Adelaide Festival

Iconoclastic choreographer and dancer Rocío Molina’s Fallen From Heaven (Caída del Cielo) shakes up the traditional guitar, cajón and clapping hands combination with a drum kit and electric guitar. Flamenco’s hallmarks – the passion, the proud stance and piercing eye contact – jostle for position with flashes of the avant-garde and the absurd in a radical celebration of womanhood.

Performed to live music combining original composition, flamenco and rock, this daring work transforms a traditional dance form into an explosive, theatrical experience. Molina cycles through multiple incarnations of the feminine archetype – from virtuous beauty to bondage-clad toreador to bloodied supernatural being, expertly fusing the fiery intensity of flamenco with a contemporary aesthetic.
