Arte y Pasión is proud to present SONIDOS DE LIBERTAD Saturday March 22 2025 at 8:00 p.m. at the Jo Long Theater of the Carver Community Cultural Center. Flamenco is an art form that comes from the same wellspring as the Punk movement; SONIDOS DE LIBERTAD tells the story of the history of Punk, using the language and coding of flamenco. An enduring theory is that the precursors of flamenco started during the Spanish Inquisition, when the Roma, African, and Jewish communities were targeted for extinction. Those who were not burnt at the stake fled to the hills and caves of Andalusia, where the nascent strains of flamenco were heard. These communities played key roles in the development and evolution of flamenco as we know it today; transmitting sorrow, fear, grief, joy, hope, pain, the range of human expression that cries out against oppression and cries out for freedom. We are faced with the choice of apathy or denial, as many of us do because we are already exhausted from trying to live our lives…or to dissent. Punk chose to dissent. There can be no Punk without tyranny, for punk is an outcry against it.
The project, under concept and direction by Tamara Adira, features Adira, Jose Manuel Tejeda, Celia Corrales, Roberto Riggio, with special guests Melissa Cruz, Gabriela de los Peines, and Natalia de Triana.
Arte y Pasión, a 501c3 organization, is a company known for pushing the boundaries of flamenco and Spanish dance, whose mission is to share, promote and develop the authentic art of flamenco as a vehicle of healing and restoration, and the promotion of human rights and equality. The company is one of the most contemporary flamenco companies in the United States and engages with acclaimed flamenco artists via mentorship and co-performance, exploring artistic evolution and specific subject matter to elevate the purity of flamenco to a singular, sacred and unforgettable moment.
The performance will take place on Saturday March 22 2025 at 8:00 p.m. at the Jo Long Theater of the Carver Community Cultural Center, at 226 N. Hackberry, San Antonio, Texas, 78204. Social Hour is 7:30 p.m., curtain is at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $32 for general admission.
