Flamenco Signature

Internationally acclaimed flamenco artist and choreographer Anabel Veloso presents “Flamenco Signature”, an intimate and deeply moving celebration of a remarkable artistic journey spanning more than two decades. Bringing together a selection of her most emblematic works, the performance reveals the many facets of flamenco—its intensity, elegance, vulnerability, and enduring spirit.

Joined by an exceptional ensemble featuring guitarist and musical director Gabriel Pérez, vocalist José Luis Jaén, and flautist Tete Leal, Veloso reimagines the traditional language of flamenco through a sophisticated and cinematic musical landscape. Passionate dance, soul-stirring vocals, virtuosic guitar, and expressive melodic textures intertwine to create a rich tapestry of sound and movement.

Balancing reverence for tradition with a contemporary sensibility, “Flamenco Signature” transcends cultural boundaries through the universal language of emotion. More than a dance performance, it is an immersive artistic experience that captures the authenticity, beauty, and transformative power of flamenco.

From the mist-covered mountains of Hualien County to the rhythmic shores of the Pacific Ocean, “When Spirits Meet: The Rainbow Bridge and Ocean Chants” invites audiences into the living traditions of Taiwan’s Truku and Amis peoples. Rooted in ancestral teachings, sacred rituals, and communal memory, the performance weaves together the spiritual world of the Truku—guided by the “Hakaw Utux” (Rainbow Bridge)—with the vibrant songs and dances of the Amis community of Makota’ay and their celebrated Ilisin harvest festival. Through powerful music, movement, and ritual storytelling, the performance becomes a poetic encounter between mountain and sea, spirit and community, memory and celebration.
Step into the forgotten workshops of George Town in “Artisan II” by Low Chee Peng. Inspired by the city’s master craftsmen and the traditional trades that once filled its streets, this immersive exhibition captures the spirit of artisans whose skills were passed down through generations. As these workshops disappear from the urban landscape, “Artisan II” invites audiences to rediscover the people, places, and heritage that helped shape the soul of George Town.
