In this program, Murat Coşkun meets the exceptional, multi-award-winning dancer Bettina Castaño. This dancer with her expressive body language is one of the most extraordinary and multifaceted flamenco dancers of the new generation. As a flamenco specialist, she is at home at major festivals around the world. Through her close collaboration with international percussionists, she has spectacularly expanded her palmas (the rhythmic clapping of flamenco dance) and enriched it with her wealth of experience. Her first encounter with Murat Coşkun was eight years ago: a flamenco festival in Seville, for which they had worked together on two duo pieces. The two artists now present a captivating and extremely humorous program throughout Europe: a symbiosis of percussion and flamenco, a feast for the ears and the eyes!

Audience comments: "This dialogue! This coming together! These temperaments! Listening to the other's rhythm, perceiving it, and then tuning in, including it! etc.... fantastic! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
