Following its European premiere — Miami. One night only.
Captura y Fuga is a solo work by Spanish dancer and choreographer José Manuel Álvarez, presented by Siudy Flamenco. The piece is drawn from the photographic archive of René Robert (1936–2022), the Swiss-born photographer who spent fifty years documenting flamenco from the tablaos of Paris.
Robert's lens captured nearly every defining figure of his era — including Camarón and Paco de Lucía. The photographs that surface in this work include images of Antonio Gades, Sara Baras, Manuela Carrasco, Israel Galván, María Pagés, Eva Yerbabuena, Andrés Marín, Rocío Molina, Farruco, and Merche Esmeralda. The archive is held by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Captura y Fuga is the first artistic work to activate Robert's archive outside his own photography exhibitions.

ON STAGE
One performer. Photographs from Robert's archive projected across the stage and onto the dancer's own body. An original score from Álvarez that braids traditional flamenco with electronic textures, built from a library of percussive sounds he composed himself.
The work unfolds in six movements: The Observer · The Laboratory · Shot · Retention · Shutter & Reframe · Out of Frame.
