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.

“My body is a headless train. My body is a legless boat.” Premiered in 2025 to critical acclaim, the award-nominated “Lament of the Wandering Head” by Sun Son Theatre is a haunting, female-led performance that blends live music, physical theatre, and storytelling. Inspired by the flying head spirit of Southeast Asian folklore, the work reimagines myth as a powerful reflection on migration, displacement, and the fractured histories of the Chinese diaspora. Performed in Mandarin and Penang Hokkien, the production creates a rare bilingual soundscape where language, movement, and music intertwine. Combining traditional Taiwanese percussion with Southeast Asian gongs, chanting, and ritual rhythms, “Lament of the Wandering Head” invites audiences into a visceral theatrical journey where the body speaks as powerfully as words.
What happens when silence becomes violence? After a powerful run in Penang and Kuala Lumpur, the award-winning “TEWAS: No Light at the End of the Tunnel” arrives at George Town Festival—a visceral theatrical experience confronting the haunting realities of bullying within Malaysian educational institutions. Blending raw storytelling with explosive physical theatre, TEWAS plunges audiences into a fractured world shaped by fear, complicity, survival, and the systems that fail to protect the vulnerable. Nominated 7 times at the 2025 BOH Cameronian Arts Awards and winner of Best Group/Ensemble Performance (Theatre), TEWAS is not just a performance—it is a reckoning. Are you ready to witness it?
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.
