STEFFA

Steffa Wine caused a furore as a flamenco dancer before and during the Second World War and toured throughout the Netherlands until 1944 with her Spanish Dance Evenings. She was not thanked by everyone after the war. STEFFA is a re-enactment of her controversial performances that took place in the city theaters during WWII.

Manuel Liñán dances Steffa Wine’s struggle with her past and ambition, and mirrors this to his own quest as a male dancer in the conservative world of flamenco. In this kaleidoscopic performance, the two exciting and divergent lives imaginatively intersect in a remarkable setting of special archive material.

STEFFA integrates  flamenco, modern dans, live music, sounddesign and videoart, and takes you on a special musical journey between the questions of art, dance, identity and gender.
