Acosta Danza - Cuban Eclectico

Pieces inspired by Cuban culture, but with their own ‘twist’. Tue 13 May – Wed 14 May Tickets from £16.50 At Birmingham Hippodrome B5 4TB

Carlos Acosta is thrilled to be bringing his Cuban dance company Acosta Danza back to Birmingham Hippodrome. With Cuban Eclectico, the audience will see a group of talented, versatile Cuban dancers showcase works ranging from modern to Afro-Cuban dance: ‘It’s a sample of Cuban life.’

With dancers from both classical and modern dance backgrounds Acosta mixes these techniques with flamenco, capoeira and hip-hop. The result is Acosta’s own identity in which the rich Cuban culture clearly emerges. For Cuban Eclectico, Carlos Acosta collaborated with choreographers from around the world who created pieces inspired by Cuban culture, but with their own ‘twist’.

With a post-show Q&A on opening night.
