Israel Galván & Nino de Elche: Mellizo Doble ~ UCLA Royce Hall

Mellizo Doble, “twin double,” is a collaboration between Galván and singer/guitarist Niño de Elche. The work is an intense encounter between the artists that explores the boundaries not just of flamenco, but of the human. The experience of flamenco often feels all too human, yet the performers are also a sort of machinery. Flamenco is, after all, a product of the modern age, developed against the backdrop of the industrial revolution. Mellizo Doble recognizes the audience as part of the assemblage of the concert machine, demonstrating that blood, sweat and tears are also a cyborg experience, a blending of passion and technique.
