The National Institute of Flamenco presents “La Estrella: A Flamenco Journey of the Kings’ Quest,” a thematic holiday production dramatizing the journey of the Three Kings.

This magical show features flamenco dance and music, “villancicos” (Christmas carols), Spanish regional dances, Escuela Bolera, African Dance, Las Posadas and a wonderful story that will captivate audiences of all ages.
“La Estrella” features Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company; invited musicians Male Fainke and Muni Kulasinghe; special musical guests from Spain, singer Alicia Morales (Granada) and guitarist Ángel Ruíz (Córdoba); and a multigenerational cast of students from the Conservatory of Flamenco Arts and Tierra Adentro charter school. The show is an artistic and conceptual collaboration among Eva Encinias, Marisol Encinias and Joaquín Encinias, as well as several guest choreographers and performers from around the world.
