Tarab - with flamenco dancer Cristina Aguilera (bailaora)

06 Oct 2023

Capstone Theatre

A trio of ‘flamenco greats’ led by an award-winning dancer will be bringing a stunning new show to Liverpool this autumn.

On Friday 6th Oct 2023 at 7.30pm, The Capstone Theatre will play host to Granada’s mesmerising sensation Cristina Aguilera for a night of captivating flamenco like no other.

Accompanied by the great flamenco cantaor from Jerez, Miguel Lavi, and exceptional guitarist David Caro from Almeria, Aguilera is bringing her acclaimed Tarab show to Liverpool for one night only.

Aguilera is a powerful performer, with the strength and rhythm of her feet as well as beauty and expression of her hands and movements. Having presented her own shows at international festivals, her dance includes the traditional fringed ‘manton’ (shawl) and she is also supremely talented on castanets.

Her Tarab show is something to behold — depicting the Arabic meaning of a state of ecstasy, rapture or enchantment that is induced when one connects with music and seizes its energy. On the night, the audience will be taken on a breathtaking journey through traditional flamenco dance, song and guitar.
