THOUGHT IN DANCE. AVANT-GARDE AND TRADITION IN CONTEMPORARY AESTHETICS

About 'El Amor Brujo' by Israel Galván.

This session addresses the conflict between tradition and transgression in contemporary art.

Against the backdrop of the current flamenco proposal, Fernando López situates the subject in the dance environment and the specific figure of Galván, while Dr. Ricardo Piñero contextualizes the debate in the theory of the arts and delves into its aesthetic significance.

The session will be streamed live on our YouTube channel.
