We Flamenco Fest, in conjunction with Brick at Blue Star with support by the Artist Foundation of San Antonio and the Department of Cultural and Creative Development, presents Arte y Pasións A GLASS OF WINE. The performance, under the direction of Tamara Adira, is a series of lush vignettes that explores the meaning and significance of the experience surrounding drinking a glass of wine. The project will explore intimacy of a moment, escape, and frivolity of guilty pleasure in light of a world of alienation and violence. Arte y Pasion A GLASS OF WINE shows this Sep 29 and 30 at the Brick at Blue Star and then at outdoor performance space 329 North Main, San Antonio Texas.
