Maria Serrano presents “Alma de Mujeres” & “Tablao Under The Neon Palms” “Alma de Mujeres” is one of Maria Serrano’s productions. Compañia Maria Serrano performs an excerpt version at the El Mocambo. A dance and music production that explores how women experience loneliness, self-worth, and freedom through the language of Flamenco. This performance aims to display what it means to go beyond the boundaries of what womanhood is typically defined as. Maria used her emotional journey of womanhood as a background for her choreographic process. Using the emotional themes of loneliness, self-worth, and freedom, she has created a fusion between these chosen themes and the typical themes of Flamenco (such as strength and empowerment). After the intermisión, Compañía Maria Serrano will take you to an Authentic Tablao scenery. A tablao is where flamenco shows are performed, and tablao is the term used for the platform floor or venue where a flamenco dancer dances. Maria, her dancers and musicians make you go beyond the barriers of language and find connection and community within the language of dance and music.
