Letras del pantano (verses from the swamp) features flamenco and contemporary dance. Vignettes introduce the audience to moments in Renata, Pepa, and Penelope's lives, each inspired by places, sounds, and emotions experienced in a city with frequent trains and muddy paths. Each moment sparks a flamenco palo, or song form.

Letras del pantano was conceived by Maribel Plasencia in close collaboration with her twin sister, Marisa Plasencia. They will dance alongside bailaora Ana María Barceló. The show features singer Celia Corrales and guitarist José Manuel Tejeda.

This work is supported, in part, by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.Read more
