“I’m not always searching for something. If I feel good when I’m dancing, it means I’m above any risk. If I step into something new or innovative, I always star from the roots. Today a flamenco artist can’t train himself in fiestas, tablaos, or private meetings anymore. I went to high school, I use the Internet, I’m fond of cinema… We don’t share the same references anymore.” The rising star Israel Galvan, inevitable on the international flamenco scene, is, according to his peers, “the older of the young dancers”. He revolutionized flamenco. Where only two ways were offered, the canon and the modern researches, Israel Galvan undid the hackneyed path. In front of those who want to keep the classic status quo he proposes a baroque and conceptual flamenco; in front of those who long for modernity, he rebuilds a topical dance using only original flamenco tools. Fascinating, event staggering, Israel Galvan galvanizes his audience and transcends folklore by drinking at its source.

“Israel Galvan treats flamenco with a lovely insolence… But above all, it’s in the connection with his art history that he reveals all his talent.” Francis Marmande - Le Monde
