A fascinating show that fuses kathak and flamenco, two dynamic and passionate dance styles, will be presented at Onassis Cultural Center from March 10-15.

Titled Torobaka (meaning bull cow) the show brings two firebrands together on stage. The risk-takers in question are Israel Galván and Akram Khan, promising an explosive mix.

Israel Galván is an award-winning Flamenco dancer and choreographer who has committed himself to taking his art in new directions. In turn, the charismatic and inventive Akram Khan has worked tirelessly to explore and break down the boundaries between Kathak and contemporary dance.

The roots of their techniques go back centuries, their traditions open up a vast fan of cultures, and yet they fall into step with astonishing ease. For there is an invisible thread, a shared lineage, which connects these two traditions with their foot stamps and circular hand movements, their abrupt rhythmic changes and music produced in part by the dancer’s body.
