And as an expression of the most rooted flamenco heritage the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía will present the day after the opening the show ‘Tríptico’ in which the disciplines of flamenco, stylized dance and bolero dance form a harmonious whole, the result of a profound creative process and process of reflection and meditation inspired by the great figure in the history of flamenco dance, Antonio el Bailarín.
