Barcelona Flamenco Ballet is an international flamenco dance company, which promotes Barcelonese art worldwide. It is reinforced as a reference to Catalan art and a meeting point for the recognition of professional dancers.

From December 2019 to the end of January 2020, Barcelona Flamenco Ballet was touring through some of the most important venues in China with the production Flamenco Reborn, which fuses three dance styles together – jazz, contemporary and flamenco. In the show, the dancers and musicians try to approach the audience in a more informal way, becoming more conversational. Barcelona Flamenco Ballet is not just a dance performance – but a work of art. Consequently, we can expect the new show, Flamenco Nights, to be even more incredible than the last one they prepared, with which they performed twice at NCPA (China National Centre for the Performing Arts), one of the most prestigious opera houses, and three times at Shanghai International Dance Centre Grand Theatre. From 10 to 20 November 2020, Barcelona Flamenco Ballet will be touring around South Korea and from 20 November to the end of December, around China.

The Sibiu International Theatre Festival is the most important annual festival of performing arts in Romania and maybe the third most relevant in Europe. It lasts for ten days and it includes more than 500 activities. This year, Flamenco Agency arrives for the fourth time with Barcelona Flamenco Ballet and its new world première Flamenco Nights. Its previous productions took place between 2016 and 2018, two of them also world premieres:

• In 2016, they presented Carmen and the world première of Flamenco Suite, both by Antonio Andrade Flamenco Company.
• In 2017, they presented …That Silverio and Flamenco, Tradition, Avant-Garde, a world première by the best flamenco ballet in the world, the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet.
• And finally, in 2018, they performed Flamenco Journey and Flamenco Roots by De Sangre y Raza Flamenco Company.

Flamenco Nights is 1 hour 40 minutes long and is composed of seven dancers, five musicians and three technicians. They do not require a flamenco dance floor, which make it easier for all venues who want to present this Ballet.
