ABOUT

Classical guitarist Nina Fourie-Gouws joins artistic forces with Flamenco dance sensation Ché Adams in ¡Pulso! This visually and auditory captivating production combines the passion, fire and intensity of authentic contemporary Flamenco dance with the rich, complex and sensuous sounds of Classical Guitar. The audience will be transported across three millennia on a journey from majestic cathedrals and pastoral landscapes, to the bustling nightclubs and cafés of South America and Spain. The formidable duo breaks down the boundaries between the melodious, virtuosic, and structured world of classical guitar and the expressive, explosive and highly improvisational nature of flamenco dancing. The programme includes works by Albéniz, Bach, Brouwer, Domeniconi, Dyens, Tárrega and Traditional South African folksongs.

Established in 2023, ¡Pulso! has been featured on KykNet’s Fiësta and has performed as part of the sold-out productions at the Toyota Woordfees (for which the production was nominated for best classical music production), Classics for All Festival in Greyton, Hugo Lambrechts Classical Guitar Festival, the Baxter Theatre concert series as well as the Overstrand Arts and Swellendam music societies, "delivering a high-energy blend of virtuosity, evocative and sensuous lyricism and imaginative programming resulting in a thrilling new way to experience chamber music in the 21st century".
