About the performance: Identidad (15-20 min)

In a world in which the only permanent thing is change, can identity remain static, immutable, without any transformation ? Ivelisse Gonzalez & Pablo Ordas make us reflect through their performance “Identidad”, exposing and transforming a flamenco style identified as Cante de Ida y Vuelta, created by fusion of Cuban and Spanish Roots in the 18th century. This time they use it to interpret their unique version of their Identity as cuban-flamencos in the 21st century. 

Music: Pablo Ordás Rodríguez
