About the Show

Between Shores explores the deep connections between Canada and Spain, blending tradition and innovation. This original flamenco production bridges cultural influences from both Atlantic shores, showcasing flamenco’s evolution as a global art form. Experience the warmth of a festive evening with soul-stirring music, dynamic dance, and dazzling costumes—transporting you straight to the lively streets of Andalucía.

Flamenco draws from Romani, Spanish, Moorish, Middle Eastern, and African traditions influences. Today, it thrives worldwide, including in Nova Scotia, offering a shared artistic language that transcends borders. 

A Vision by Maria Osende

Between Shores – Tales Woven Within Flamenco is a creation under the vision of Maria Osende, Artistic Director of Atlantic Flamenco.

“Flamenco is a living, evolving art form, born from cultural fusion in Spain, and it continues to grow. Our lives constantly change, we meet new people, and history unfolds around us—I wanted to create a show that honors these influences. ”

“The music will be just stunning—guitarist Andy Webster and harpist Ellen Gibling bring their Celtic influences into the show, and the powerful voice of Lisa Myers embodies the true spirit of flamenco. Joining also will be guitarist Jaime Espinoza and singer Angelica Lagos.”

“Maria will be joined by Spanish Flamenco Dancer Gad de la Fuente, making his Canadian debut. Local dancers Karen Staples and Ellen Gibling are also part of this journey, and together, we’re creating pieces that deeply resonate with their unique backgrounds. I’m truly excited about this show.”
