Strike a Chord

Strike a Chord ignites the interplay between flamenco guitar and dance, exploring rhythm, movement, and visceral emotion through an intimate yet electrifying performance experience.

Strike a Chord unites virtuosic guitarist Marco Van Doornum with the trailblazing ensemble “Las Flamenkas”, a collective of culturally diverse artists aged 18–30+ under the choreography of critically acclaimed artist Pepa Molina.

This bold new work explores the creative tension between tradition and innovation through an exchange of rhythm, movement, and emotion. Strike a Chord investigates the evolving language of contemporary flamenco, expanding its expressive boundaries while honouring its deep cultural roots.

Blending authenticity with experimentation, the work offers audiences an intimate yet electrifying experience—where the pulse of the guitar meets the power of the body, and where cultural identity, artistry, and collaboration strike a resonant chord.
