+ DUENDE IN THEATER, A GUIDE IN THE SPIRIT WORLD:

"Lorca in a Green Dress" by Pulitzer-Prize winner Nilo Cruz perfectly utilizes flamenco as a character in theater. La Conja with dancing and deep song, performed not only a main character in the play, but also provided spirit for the play itself. Cruz's play directed by Penny Metropulos recently having it's world premiere at Ashland Oregon's Shakespeare Festival theater, follows Frederico Garcia Lorca into the afterlife.With La Conja dancing, singing, Grant Ruiz guitar and bastón, El Duende is a guide for Lorca in the afterlife. It resonates from Lorca's spirit to Nilo Cruz's play writing pen, to the amazing flamenco - heel work pounded directly to the audience through the theater stage.

Contact: Grant Ruiz, in Oregon at grantruiz@opendoor.com and web bio, and La Conja in NYC at laconja@aol.com and laconja.com

+ The Gypsy siguiriya begins with a terrible cry, a cry that divides the landscape into two ideal hemispheres. Then the voice pauses to make room for a silence that is both amazing and measured, a silence in which the face of the turning lily glows, the lily that has left its voice in the heavens. Next, the undulating and never-ending melody begins as it does in Bach, though in a different sense. The infinite melody of Bach is round: the phrase could repeat itself forever in a circular manner; but the melody of the siguiriya disappears into the horizontal; it escapes through our fingers and we see it off in the distance like a perfect point of common hope and passion - where the soul can never arrive. - Federico Garcia Lorca

Read Lorca's collections of poems and essays: "In Search of Duende", "Gypsy Ballads", "Poems of the Deep Song".
