A Selection of dances. Take the passion of Flamenco, fuse it with the intensity of contemporary dance and then sprinkle with a little Broadway magic and you have what promises to be one of the year’s most exciting dance events and a UK premiere for Yorkshire. BREVIARIO is the exhilarating, emotionally charged new work from Increpacion Danza, the Barcelona-based company that combines the energy of contemporary dance with the intense drama of traditional Spanish dance. Inspired by the sound of 1930s Spanish Music Hall, the piece captures the mood of the years immediately before the Spanish Civil War in much the same way that Broadway and movie classic CABARET presented a dazzling image of 1930s Berlin. Co-director Ramon Baeza admits that one of his most important initial influences was CABARET director Bob Fosse’s unforgettably sleazy world of Sally Bowles and the Kit Kat Club: Ramon Baeza said "One of my very first propositions was Fosse and Cabaret, though I don’t like to say that too much, If somebody sees it, then that’s alright and I admit it was the cue for the staging of the show. Cabaret is a movie I must have seen 20 or 30 times and I used the same references - it helped me to translate in terms of popular Spanish music." Although this showbiz influence is a new move for Increpacion Danza. Ramon believes it is one that fits perfectly with the mood of Breviario.
