Ya no seremos [We Will No Longer Be] is a work by Ángel Rojas born out of the necessity to delve into the concept of creation in a clear contemporary flamenco style that supersedes barriers and stereotypes. A creation that has matured over years and with a principal theme of evolution as imperative to our destiny. For this project, Rojas has brought together a large creative team under his artistic direction, as well as a versatile ensemble, capable of navigating an abstract landscape without sacrificing the depth of flamenco, capped off with a staging defined by the symbology of the central theme.
