During an early pause in the pandemic in 2021, Theatre Flamenco of San Francisco’s Carola Zertuche spent several nights beneath the sheltering night sky
of the Wadi Rum desert in southern Jordan. Feeling adrift amid the Milky Way, she sensed each moment stretching into the universe, a transformative experience that she sought to evoke while creating a new, evening-length work.
While the Mexican-born Zertuche is a lead dancer, primary choreographer and artistic director of Theatre Flamenco, she’s also a master of weaving guest artists into productions with her company. Devoted to the deep Andalusian roots of flamenco and Gitano culture, she’s not afraid to reach beyond cante jondo and traditional steps for sonic sources and movement vocabulary.
And, like May’s production, “Timeless World” features a sensational musical cast led by guitarist Juani de la Isla, a prolific Spanish artist with some 200 albums to his credit. De la Isla hails from the island of San Fernando near Cádiz, a flamenco hotbed for generations, and will be joined onstage by Diego Amador Jr., a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist from a celebrated Gitano clan known for melding flamenco with rock, jazz and other idioms.
