After waching ¡Viva!

 Once again Días de Flamenco festival at Suzanne Dellal, Tel Aviv. For the second time - the main show from Spain is a show of Manuel Liñan.  His second time as the main show in the festival, but a different show than he had at his first time here. This time with the show ¡Viva!. I don't want to do too many spoilers for those who didn't see it yet, but I can say that all people on stage are men. All of them. It means men musicians, but this isn't the hardcore of the show. 7 dancers, one of them also sings, all men. And the dancers - all dressed as women, maked up like women, wear some wigs for a full show of women and dance like women. I can say - it was pretty weird for me to see it. It could be a gimmick, but it works well. Accept the crazy technique that all men shows - I think they all brave. Although the women's clothes, although the makeup and wigs - all dance like it's the most natural thing to dance this way. 

The dancers on stage: Manuel Liñan, Manuel Betanzos, Jonatán Miro, Hugo López, Miguel Heredia, Victor Martin and Yoel Ferrer.

I don't want to do too many spoilers. It starts with a solo of Manuel Liñan. All dancers gets their solos during the show. Between they all have some parts of all dance together. Near the end there is a part of Clasico Español with ballet shoes and castanets. Two of the dancers do it with some hummor. A bit after - another solo of Manuel Liñan. And the musicians helps him to change his clothes on stage. He started to dance in bata de cola. And then the other dancers joins him with batas. Until this part - all were dancing in some different dresses, at this part - all in the same batas. It doesn't take too long till three dancers moves to dance with less clothes and it's possible to see the part under the clothes that helps them to the feminine look. And all stays in the end with some less clothes. They finish it this way. And the real end is taking off the wigs and makeup in the fron of the audience. I guess that all the audience who came knew it's men, after all it's a festival that made for some "heavy" flamenco lovers. Still - with the way that all dance in this show - it's easy to forget it.

I don't know what else can I write about it without making too many spoilers. I don't know what else can I write without making it weird. I can say it's a show that all should see at least once in the lifetime, but to know it isn't the ordinary thing
