SUMMARY:FlamencAsian 2026: Tierra Rota\,Alma Viva/ Fragmentos de Mañana
LOCATION:Esplanade Theatre Studio
DESCRIPTION:3 Oct\, 8pm & 4 Oct\, 3pm — Esplanade Theatre Studio\n\nTierr
 a Rota\, Viva Alma (Broken Earth\, Living Soul)\n\nWhen the earth breaks\,
  the soul still dances.\n\nDirected by Antonio Vargas\n\nThis full-length 
 production is a powerful meditation on ecological collapse and human endur
 ance. It imagines a world where the earth is fractured—physically\, soci
 ally\, and spiritually—yet still carries within it the persistence of li
 fe and memory.\n\nThe work brings together dancers from Flamenco Sin Front
 eras alongside invited contemporary performers Pang Xin Yi and Gong Wen Xu
 an\, forming an ensemble that bridges flamenco's raw intensity and contemp
 orary dance's poetic fluidity. The choreography moves between intensity an
 d stillness\, evoking both destruction and renewal.\n\nThe musical landsca
 pe is composed by Robert Casteels\, and Spanish flamenco guitarist José I
 smael Sierra\, Taiwanese flamenco vocalist Chen Po-Yin\, and Singaporean p
 ercussionist Lalit Kumar. This layered sonic environment blends traditiona
 l flamenco textures with contemporary sound design\, creating a score that
  reflects instability\, fragmentation\, and moments of fragile harmony.\n
 \nPremiering at the Esplanade Theatre Studio in October 2026\, the work po
 sitions itself as both an artistic statement and a reflection on shared gl
 obal vulnerability. It asks what it means to remain human in a world under
  strain\, and whether resilience can still be found within systems on the 
 edge of collapse.\n\nArtistes include:\n\nArtistic Director: Antonio Varga
 s\n\nMusic Composer: Robert Casteels\n\nMusicians: José Ismael Sierra\, C
 hen Po-Yin\, Lalit Kumar\n\nFlamenco Dancers: Cheryl Ng\, Daphne Huang Var
 gas\, Gan Hui Hui\, Misa Noda\, Tilly Wong\, Toshiaki Konno\n\nContemporar
 y Dancers: Pang Xin Yi\, Gong Wen Xuan\n\n4 Oct\, 7:30pm — Esplanade The
 atre Studio\n\nFragmentos de Mañana (Fragments of Tomorrow)\n\nMany futur
 es\, one rhythm.\n\nNot one story\, but many — told at once. This contem
 porary flamenco production gathers artists\, dancers\, and musicians from 
 Singapore\, China\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, Japan\, Thailand\, and Spain\, ea
 ch offering an original performance fragment on the forces shaping tomorro
 w: artificial intelligence\, environmental uncertainty\, shifting identity
 \, and the search for human connection.\n\nRooted in flamenco's rhythm and
  raw emotional force\, each artist reinterprets the form through their own
  cultural lens — heritage meeting experimentation\, discipline meeting i
 mprovisation. Nothing here resolves neatly\; audiences are invited into th
 e tension itself\, watching different futures unfold side by side.\n\nArti
 stes include:\n\nJosé Ismael Sierra (Spain)\n\nZhao Zhen\, Mustafa (China
 )\n\nLu Lee\, Chen Po-Yin (Taiwan)\n\nNobuyoshi Nakane (Japan/Singapore)\n
 \nLalita Jantaro and Ballet Flamenco Thailand (Thailand)\n\nMariko Drayton
