Lincoln Center Presents: Yinka Esi Graves – The Disappearing Act

June 21 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Yinka-Esi

Part of the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance

As part of the inaugural Lincoln Center Contemporary Dance Festival, the New York Premiere of The Disappearing Act explores flamenco’s roots, shining a light on the Afro-descendant populations in southern Spain who shaped the genre. Born in London to a family from Ghana and Jamaica, British flamenco artist Yinka Esi Graves’ travels to Andalusia to study the art form exposed her to a wide array of cultures, an experience this performance brings vividly to life. In this transfixing solo with live music, Graves transforms the act of disappearing into a moving artistic gesture. This performance will have Audio Description available. 

Don’t miss the pre-show talk! Join us in the Alice Tully Hall Lobby at 2:45pm for a pre-show talk with the curatorial team from the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance to hear more about the production. The pre-show talk is open to the public and does not require a performance ticket.
