Ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month, the nonprofit The Flame Foundation<\/a> is hosting a cultural exhibit in honor of flamenco arts at the Latino Cultural Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFlamenco in the Golden Age of Hollywood\u201d will take place Friday and Saturday, Sept. 5-6, with an \u201copening night soiree\u201d at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5. Visitors can check out the exhibit from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, and tickets are $20, or $15 for students and free for children younger than 12 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flamenco is an art form consisting of song, dance and music derived from Andalusian Roma in southern Spain, according to Britannica<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The exhibit is inspired by Hollywood\u2019s golden era and will include \u201crare film stills, archival photography, iconic costumes and artifacts that highlight flamenco\u2019s cinematic legacy \u2014 from Rita Hayworth\u2019s magnetic screen presence to Carmen Amaya\u2019s electrifying footwork,\u201d according to a press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this vein, the community is invited to see live flamenco performances, music and refreshments on opening night. Booker T. Washington High School will model flamenco fashion vignettes as well. Tickets are $75.<\/p>\n

Costumes on display include \u201ca historic black-and-green bata de cola once belonging to Maestra Mina Gutierrez Hachar, first flamenco teacher and mentor to The Flame Foundation\u2019s founder Delilah Buitr\u00f3n,\u201d according to the press release. \u201cThis same gown was famously photographed on flamenco dancer Illeana Gomez, who trained under Mina in her early years before studying flamenco in Spain. Another centerpiece of the exhibit is a remarkable dress on loan from The Dallas Opera, designed by Alan Kline, built by ABC Costumes in Miami, and hand-painted in Dallas for the 1992\u201393 production of La Vida Breve. This dress, famously worn by legendary dancer Maria Benetiz, adds an extraordinary link to Dallas\u2019s own performing arts history.\u201d<\/p>\n
