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.

“Flamenco Signature” is presented by George Town Festival 2026 in partnership with the Embassy of Spain in Malaysia.

Solo exhibition by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec Involuntary Writing by Amsterdam-based artist Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec is presented at Blank Canvas that brings together site-specific murals and a triptych consisting of a digital scan, a black and white photograph, and a rubber stamp imprint. The project highlights unintentional ink stains that occur while writing by hand. The artist turns attention to these unintended marks, treating them as visual forms in their own right, which are magnified and reworked within the exhibition space. He foregrounds their idiosyncratic, irregular shapes as visual elements that are neither illustrations, symbolic representations, nor abstractions, but incomprehensible forms that, nevertheless, radiate familiarity. Rather than trying to define or interpret them, the project leans into this ambiguity by adopting a non-interpretative gaze – one that is more akin to “listening to shapes”, allowing their presence to be felt rather than explained.
