Israel Galv谩n on Lo Real
Acclaimed flamenco dancer Israel Galv谩n鈥檚 most recent work, Lo Real, is perhaps his most controversial and poignant to date.
Inspired by the Antony and the Johnsons song Hitler In My Heart, this wildly expressive piece tells the story of the Nazi persecution of Roma and Sinti people during the Holocaust.
A fusion of flamenco, experimental dance and live music, the show sparked outrage amongst flamenco traditionalists at its world premiere in Madrid and has since galvanised Galv谩n鈥檚 reputation as a rule-breaker.
In this film Galv谩n describes the significance of Lo Real - both as a celebration of his freedom as a flamenco dancer and reconciliation with his dark and disturbing past.
Lo Real played at the Festival Theatre in August as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
