SUMMARY:Chicago Flamenco Festival 2026. Irene Morales Raw
DESCRIPTION:RAW is a daring flamenco performance featuring dancer Irene Morales\, whose movement brings ancestral intensity into sharp dialogue with the present. Rooted in Granada and shaped by Spain’s foremost stages\, Morales embodies a dance language that unites precision and instinct\, control and vulnerability. The work seeks a state of essentiality—a flamenco pared down to its core\, where gesture\, sound\, and silence uncover emotional truth. Through the interplay of electronic textures\, live instruments\, and visceral rhythm\, RAW opens new terrain for flamenco while remaining grounded in its pulse. Morales’s presence gives form to a living tradition—immediate\, luminous\, and profoundly human—where flamenco is not fixed in time but continually rediscovered through the body. \n  \nIrene Morales began her formal training at the Conservatory of Granada before moving to Madrid to continue her studies at the prestigious María de Ávila Superior Conservatory. During her time in the capital\, she combined her studies with performances in several companies\, including those of Miguel Ángel Bernal and Rafael Aguilar\, and most notably in 2019\, when Eva Yerbabuena invited her to join the production Lorca y la Pasión with Marina Heredia\, presented at the Generalife Gardens. This marked her return to her hometown of Granada. With remarkable artistic maturity\, Irene has been performing since the age of 18\, both as a solo artist and with her own company. \nPhoto Copywrite: Juan Pascual

Uncertain of their future\, they rely on other Chinese migrants to navigate this new land and culture.

SUMMARY:The Reel Film Club: Costa Rica
DESCRIPTION:Víctor has lived by himself\, tending to his cows\, in the mountains of Costa Rica for decades. He believes his neighbors have ordered their one indigenous employee to spy on him and that they have stolen his favorite cow. His 12-year-old grandson has been sent by his mother to live with Víctor just as the old man’s paranoia and hatred has worsened. News of a fugitive hiding in the mountains adds to the tension\, as well as Víctor’s growing blindness. Gustavo Fallas’s follow-up to “Puerto Padre” (an official selection of the 30th Chicago Latino Film Festival) is a low-key\, fog-shrouded\, unsettling portrait of a man quickly succumbing to his prejudices and demons.

SUMMARY:JUAN CARMONA WITH YOUBA ADJRAD AND THE ANDALUSIAN TRAIL
DESCRIPTION:Juan Carmona was only ten years old when his father gave him his first guitar. His passion for the instrument grew and his virtuosity was quickly remarked by professional musicians. Juan’s journey as a professional guitarist took him back to his roots: Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia. For 9 years\, he absorbed as much as he could in the purest flamenco tradition\, rubbing elbows with some of its biggest names\, like Joaquín Grilo\, Agujetas\, Duquende\, Antonio Canales\, Chano Domínguez and many others. A self-taught musician\, he can boast of having composed his Sinfonía Flamenca and Orillas\, today performed by many orchestras in the world\, including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (Australia)\, the St Louis Symphony Orchestra (USA)\, and the Russian Philarmony. His albums Alchemya\, Orillas\, Sinfonía Flamenca and El Sentido del Aire were nominated for the Latin GRAMMY. His new album\, Zyriab 6.7\, retraces the journey of the musician-poet Zyriab\, stopping off along the Mediterranean\, from oasis to caravanserai\, covering 6\,743 km from Baghdad to Cordoba.\nThe Andalusian Trail: From Rajasthan\, India to the Middle East\, from North Africa and across the Mediterranean into Andalusia\, Spain\, musical ideas and instruments were exchanged and have contributed to the foundation of Andalusian and flamenco music. Through music\, dance\, and storytelling\, members of Las Guitarras de España and Surabhi Ensemble take to the trail and tell the tale of this shared cultural history from medieval Andalusia to the present. The performance includes original and traditional repertoire of Spanish guitar\, Arab-Andalusian poetry and music\, as well as Rajasthani\, Middle Eastern\, and flamenco folk music and dance.\nPresented by the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago\, Intercultural Music Production\, and the Old Town School of Folk Music as part of the Ojalá project funded by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Arts.

Appetizers and Wine \n7:00 PM – Film screening (Spanish with English subtitles) \nParking at 33 W Ontario ($10 with validation) \n\n\n\n\nSun in the Water / Sol en el agua\n\nA day at the beach with a baby; a car accident; a fight: these are some of the fragments Sol is able to remember bit by bit after she wakes up at a hospital. The doctor and the two nurses attending her refuse to answer her questions while keeping her sedated. A character by the name of Ino appears in her dreams guiding her through her lost memories. But Ino is not a figment of her imagination. “Sun in the Water” is a challenging and mind-blowing psychological thriller about consciousness\, guilt\, fate and the choices that we make. \nUn día en la playa con un bebé; un accidente de coche; una pelea: estos son algunos de los eventos que Sol es capaz de recordar poco a poco después de despertarse en un hospital. El médico y las dos enfermeras que la atienden se niegan a responder sus preguntas mientras la mantienen sedada. Un personaje con el nombre de Ino aparece en sus sueños\, guiándola a través de sus recuerdos perdidos. Pero Ino no es producto de su imaginación. “Sol en el agua” es un desafiante y alucinante thriller psicológico sobre la conciencia\, la culpa y el destino.
