Vancouver International Flamenco Festival presents the Canadian Premier of Rayuela (Hopscotch) by Compañía Marco Flores
Navigating from earthly realms to the distant skies of Uranus while sidestepping Pluto's infernal depths, one learns the power of a Word: it connects us to childhood innocence, ancestral roots, and the relentless pursuit of artistic perfection. Inspired by Julio Cortázar's "Hopscotch" (Rayuela), where Oliveira seeks elusive answers, it mirrors life's journey through creativity and self-discovery. In this cosmic dance, the Word guides us through the labyrinth of human imagination and the quest for understanding.
