Composed and directed by South Florida based ensemble Our Human Years, (Nicolle Garcia, Dion Kerr, and Tim Watson), the music video recording of this new performance work is a kaleidoscopic celebration of South Florida’s rich cultural tapestry.

"Ser. Rana" by Sonia Franco
FUNDarte and Miami-Dade County Auditorium presents "Ser. Rana" by Sonia Franco, with Flamenco Spain Arts and Culture (formerly Fundación Casa Patas), on Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3 at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center. Part of FUNDarte's annual FL.Flamencos series.
Created by Sonia Franco Gutierrez, dancer, choreographer and actress who has premiered dance shows around the world, "Ser. Rana" is an omen. It is an experience that transforms movement and releases the desire to dance, like water that cannot be contained, like the flow of the river that you have inside you and does not cease, transforming your body through flamenco while you travel through impossible scenario... like the frogs that get lost outside their pond. With original music created for this trip, flamenco is at the service of the movement and connects directly with the viewer through a minimalist aesthetic. Only music and dance reveal what lives in the body that, animated by life, resists the sordidity of the world.
