Desperately Seeking Duende

• Contemporary
South Australia • World Premiere
Yasmine explores the flamenco dancer's eternal quest for duende (divine inspiration). In doing so, she strips away the polka-dots, ruffles and roses, to create a new future for Flamenco; accessing the duende through her family history, '80s arcade games, the Macarena, religious iconography and flamingos! This is modern Flamenco for a modern world.

"Real joy and heart...super entertaining" Broadway World

"Yasmine's flamenco ignited the stage. Fierce, intense, sexy and compelling. Completely immersed in the music and movement, she invited the audience into her soul" Sam About Town

"This is true Fringe material. You are not going to be able to see shows like this one any other time of year and I left...feeling utterly elated at what I had just had the privilege of witnessing" Yewth Mag
