After questioning what flamenco is in 2021, highlighting the lyrical poetry in 2022, and the guitar in 2023, this time the dance will take centre stage through the concept of “planta-tacón”, which are executions of heelwork characteristic of flamenco dance. This opens another pathway that leads to the profound essence of flamenco: the dance. Following the lyrics and the guitar, it is the movement and expressiveness that govern: the dance commands.

The conceptual poster that has been chosen for the 2024 edition aims to recover the historical graphic heritage of flamenco. It is based on an original postcard from the early 20th century. Without altering its content, we have given this postcard a creative design which aims to show movement, expressiveness, and contemporaneity. The dance and the theme of this edition, “planta-tacón,” coexist with psychedelic textures that bring a woman to life through movement. One cycle closes, but another door opens showing us what the future holds through this principle of heritage recovery. Whether this principle is material or immaterial, it will continue being explored in the next three editions of Flamenco on Fire.The original postcard, to which we referred and which has served as the basis for the conceptual poster for 2024, belongs to the prestigious Carlos Martín Ballester Collection, which, in a totally altruistic way, has given this image to Flamenco on Fire so that, under our criteria and responsibility, we can design the poster for this edition. Our most sincere thank you to the director of this Collection: Carlos Martín Ballester.
