The
flamenco troupe Remangar will open the 2018 Dance España Festival at the
Suzanne Dellal Centre with its stirring performance of "Temblor."
Dance España 2018 features the best of contemporary and flamenco dance from
Spain. The program includes Nova Galega de Danza, Emilio Ochando y Compañia,
Compañia Sharon Fridman, and other troupes.
"Temblor"
will open the festival in a whirlwind of "flamenco puro" (pure
flamenco) featuring the guitar virtuoso from Seville, Fyty Carrillo, and 12
other on-stage artists—dancers, singers, guitarists, and percussionists.
The
work is a series of encounters between movements of the body and fluctuations
of the mind. It highlights the conflicting human desire to act intuitively, out
of primal animal instinct, and the desire to operate rationally, on the basis
of thought and planning.
Keren
and Avner Pesach, Remangar's directors and principal dancers, say "it is a
great honor for us to open the 2018 Dance España Festival in Israel. Having
been nurtured on the roots of flamenco puro in Seville, we are thrilled to take
part in this amazing Spanish dance celebration in the heart of Tel Aviv. We
join the expert guitarist Fyty Carrillo in welcoming everyone to experience
these moments of magic, intensity, and, at times, pain—the burning passion of
music, rhythm, and…flamenco."
"Temblor"
is a Spanish word that conveys a trembling, vibration, wave, whirlwind.

The
Remangar Flamenco Troupe (Flamenco Puro)
The
Remangar Flamenco Troupe was created in 2006 by its principal dancers and
directors, Karen and Avner Pesach. Remangar's uniqueness lies in its energetic,
virtuoso style, and its artistic expertise in the pure form of
flamenco—flamenco puro. Every Remangar performance, and the live music it
features on stage, bursts with the excitement of flamenco, which is further
magnified by occasional moments of inspired improvisation.
The
Pesachs created Remangar after returning to Israel from a ten-year sojourn in
Spain. Their teachers, and close neighbors, were members of a famous flamenco
family, Los Farrucos. Under their wing, Keren and Avner learned the art of
flamenco puro, and they appeared with Los Farrucos in performances around the
world.
Remangar
numbers eleven professional artists—dancers, instrumentalists, and singers—all
of whom studied in Spain. The professional troupe mounts new shows every year
and appears in Israel's leading performance halls.
The
troupe also operates the Remangar School of Flamenco, where Keren and Avner
teach the art of flamenco puro, their profession and passion, to dozens of
students annually. With studios in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and a hundred or so
enrollees—children, teens, and adults—the school aims to produce professional
flamenco dancers who will join Remangar in its performances on stage.
Fyty
Carrillo
Fyty
Carrillo, 49, is a virtuoso guitarist born in Seville and trained by Spain's
most gifted flamenco guitarists, at whose side he eventually appeared in
performances worldwide. Since 2000, he has been the lead guitarist in the world-renowned
Maria Pajes troupe.
