Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company: Art of Andalucia | Flamenco Dance

 

Back by popular demand after the sell out show in February, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company are giving Liverpool another chance to experience this incredible flamenco spectacle!

Following the success of his first two productions, which have captivated over 80,000 audience members across the UK, Ireland, and Germany in the last two years, Daniel Martinez returns with a new show that places flamenco dance at the forefront. “Art of Andalucia” shifts the focus entirely to the art of flamenco dance, offering audiences an immersive experience where the dancers take centre stage, bringing the passion and energy of Andalucia to life. If that weren’t enough, Daniel will also perform new pieces from his highly anticipated third album.

One of the stars of this production is the world-renowned dancer Angel Reyes, a key member of Manuel Linan’s company and the second dancer in Jesus Carmona’s company for many years. Angel’s impeccable technique, skill, and fiery passion will captivate and mesmerise, elevating the performance to an unmissable cultural experience. His powerful presence and artistry bring an electric energy to the stage.

Joining Angel is Gabriela Pouso, the principal dancer of the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Gabriela has played an instrumental role in the company’s success, performing on some of the UK’s most prestigious stages. Her performances are filled with elegance, grace, skill, and intensity, showcasing her remarkable technique and drawing audiences in with every movement.

The dancers will perform to original compositions by Daniel Martinez, created specifically for this show. The performance is further enriched by the incredible vocals of Inma Montero and Danielo Olivera, and the rhythmic pulse of percussionist Julian Ticotico. Together, they create an unforgettable night of flamenco, where music and dance are perfectly intertwined.

“Art of Andalucia” is a celebration of flamenco dance, a vibrant journey into the heart of Andalucia, where the tradition and passion of flamenco are brought to life through stunning choreography and powerful performances.

Phoenix Dance Theatre: Inside Giovanni’s Room

Phoenix Dance Theatre presents Inside Giovanni’s Room, a full-length dance production inspired by James Baldwin’s ground breaking 1956 novel Giovanni’s Room.

Set in 1950s Paris, Giovanni’s Room tackles themes of love, sexuality, guilt and self-acceptance. Baldwin was known for writing about the African American experience and was warned by his publishers that his exploration of sexuality identity and depiction of same-sex relationships could alienate his audience and potentially end his career. Today the novel is celebrated as one of the most important literary works of the 20th century.

To mark Baldwin’s 100th birthday, choreographer Marcus Jarrell Willis unpacks this thought-provoking novel in a narrative adaptation that examines how its themes are still poignant and relevant today.

Founded over 40 years ago by three young Black British men, Phoenix Dance Theatre’s new production builds on their legacy of pushing cultural boundaries and using dance as a platform to ask questions that get to the very heart of what it is to be human.

Matthew Bourne’s The Midnight Bell

 

 

 

Matthew Bourne’s award-winning The Midnight Bell returns to Liverpool Playhouse in 2025.

In 1930s London, ordinary people emerge from cheap boarding houses nightly to pour out their passions, hopes and dreams in the pubs and fog-bound streets of Soho and Fitzrovia. Step inside The Midnight Bell, a tavern where one particular lonely-hearts club gather to play out their lovelorn affairs of the heart; bitter comedies of longing, frustration, betrayal and redemption.

Inspired by the great English novelist Patrick Hamilton (Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky, Hangover Square) who created some of the most authentic fiction of his era; stories borne out of years of social interactions with the working man and woman at his favourite location – the London Pub.

Hailed by The Observer as ‘the undisputed king of dance theatre’, master storyteller Bourne has produced some of the most successful dance theatre productions of the last 30 years including Swan Lake, Cinderella, The Red Shoes and Edward Scissorhands.
