This September 19 and 20, ALAC becomes the setting for an unforgettable journey through the beauty, mystery, and emotional power of Flamenco.

Amor, Quejío y Vuelo—Love, Lament, Flight—moves through the emotions that shape us all: the exhilaration of connection, the ache of loss, the silence left behind, and the strength we discover when we rise again.

Through haunting song, intricate guitar, powerful rhythm, and electrifying dance, the stage becomes a mirror. There is no single story—only an invitation to recognize your own.

Your love.
Your sorrow.
Your flight.

Featuring:
Dancers La Emi and José Junco
Guitarist Misael Barraza Díaz
Singer Olivia Rojas
Percussionist Eddie Garcia

Saturday, September 19 at 7 PM

Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center
147 E. Adams St., Downtown Phoenix

Presented by Phoenix World Arts Collective
