“Entresueño” explores the frontier of consciousness where memories blur and mix with imagination, where reality gives way to the dream. Entresueño is the transition from awareness to sleep - the period when imagery is exaggeratedly vivid and the boundaries of time and space disappear.

Mr. Aparicio has been hailed as America's most celebrated male flamenco soloist, who has been described by critics as having "hellfire footwork" and generating "evocative imagery". “Entresueño” is a stirring production that features the Madrid-based and internationally renowned flamenco artist "La Truco." Joining Mr. Aparicio and "La Truco" are dancers Nélida Tirado and La Genoveva, singers David Castellano and Jesús Montoya (El Genio Gitano), who are highly regarded for their authenticity and passion, and guitar virtuosos Pedro Cortés and Ricardo Marlow.

The Program is divided into two parts: La Penumbra, and La Aurora. La Penumbra represents the entresueño before entering sleep, while La Aurora explores the state of entresueño before awakening.

The subject matter of entresueño provides the perfect context for the expressiveness of flamenco, since experiencing the intensity of this art form is, in a sense, akin to entering a dream-like state. The greatest performers of flamenco have often been described as having duende, a temporary trance-like state, in which they are possessed by an intangible spiritual aura.

"I selected the performers for this production based on their superb technical skills," says artistic director Edwin Aparicio. “My choreographies are extremely challenging and require that dancers have absolute command of their bodies. The superior technique of the musicians and singers allows everyone involved to focus more precisely on the lyricism and musicality of the pieces. While all of the pieces are choreographed, there is room in all of them for improvisation - otherwise it would not be flamenco - which requires the highest level of professionalism."
