Each year in May, the Festival brings together dance artists and choreographers from across the world to share vibrant contemporary dance with audiences in Ireland.Dublin Dance Festival’s vision is to present the best of international contemporary dance within a festival context.
AC/E supports the participation of Flamenco Spanish artist Israel Galván who brings his award-winning show La Edad de Oro (The Golden Age) to the Abbey Theatre stage. Both a rebel and a traditionalist, Galván is recognised as a master of contemporary flamenco. Famous for his power, precision and astonishingly complicated and rapid footwork, Galván dances flamenco on the cutting edge.

Both a rebel and a traditionalist, Galván is recognised as a master of contemporary flamenco. Famous for his power, precision and astonishingly complicated and rapid footwork, Galván dances flamenco on the cutting edge.
Bringing both great subtlety and explosive rhythmic movement to his work, Galván is faithful to the spirit of flamenco’s long lineage and history, while smashing stereotypes and preconceptions common to the form. With live music by brothers David Lagos (vocalist) and Alfredo Lagos (guitar), in La Edad de Oro Galván strips flamenco to its bare essence, sculpting a form steeped in tradition, yet intoxicated by the moment.
