Velada Flamenca

Velada Flamenca acontece a 9 de outubro de 2026, French Institute of Scotland, em Edinburgh.

We’re pleased to collaborate with Cinetopia Salon this year to create a celebratory evening of Spanish Flamenco culture in person and on screen. Cinetopia’s Salon events bring cinema into conversation with performing arts in a convivial setting designed to spark conversation, inspired by the spirit of Paris’s literary salons. Each Salon pairs a thought-provoking film with dance, music, or performance, with drinks, nibbles, and time to discuss what you’ve seen with others in the beautiful surroundings of the French Institute of Scotland. Following the Flamenco event, we will screen Carlos Saura's Carmen Timetable 18:00: Drinks & Tapas Reception | 19:00: Live music TuFlamenco | 19:30: Film screening of Carmen introduced by Amaya Bañuelos Marco * Your ticket includes access to all the activities plus the first cup of wine. Synopsis Antonio, director de una compañía de baile flamenco, trabaja en el montaje de Carmen, inspirada en la novela de Mérimée y la ópera de Bizet. Cuando encuentra a la protagonista ideal, una joven bailarina que también se llama Carmen, inicia con ella una relación obsesiva que comienza a reproducir la historia trágica de la obra. Deseo, celos y representación escénica se entrelazan hasta conducir a los personajes hacia la destrucción. Antonio, director of a flamenco dance company, is preparing a stage version of Carmen, inspired by Mérimée’s novella and Bizet’s opera. When he finds the ideal lead performer, a young dancer who is also named Carmen, he begins an obsessive relationship with her that gradually mirrors the tragic story of the work itself. Desire, jealousy, and theatrical performance become intertwined until they lead the characters toward destruction
