Free pieces which go from traditional flamenco to the latest flamenco with touches of contemporary dance, with the theater's black backdrop representing the dark chamber being the common denominator.

We lay our stakes on a simple, up-close-and-personal show with neither stage design nor a storyline in which each baile and piece of music, on their own, express our sensations and emotions. To do so, we have four dancers and nine musicians with a well-defined style of their own.

The first part of the show recovers old-fashioned styles and bailes from flamenco tradition such as the caña, zapateado and petenera, tingeing them and enriching them with the original style of these four dancers. Elements seldom used in today's flamenco dancing appear such as the bata de cola, castanets which are included in the caña, and the shawl in the petenera. The virtuosity must also be highlighted of the zapateado performed in unison by two of the bailaores, where clapping hands is the only instrument.

The second part consists of three pieces, two of which won awards at the 13th Spanish and Flamenco Dancing Contest of Madrid. The third less traditional choreography becomes the epilogue closing the show.

In Cámara Negra, the dancing speaks for itself. That's the storyline. We turn our emotions into movements, images and colors dancing, using that magical, dark chamber which a theater stage is as the setting.
