| Quinto Elemento at The Joyce Theater (Apr 21-26) | Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana | The Joyce Theater - 175 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10036 | Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana returns to The Joyce with the New York City premiere of QUINTO ELEMENTO (Fifth Element), an evening-length work by acclaimed choreographer Patricia Guerrero, winner of Spain’s National Dance Award, with an original score by Francis Gómez performed live. Featuring Flamenco Vivo’s world-renowned international cast of dancers and musicians, the work explores the elusive fifth element of the earth—ether, the invisible essence that connects all things. Hailed by The New Yorker as “a master of tradition who dares to deconstruct the art form,” Guerrero ventures beyond flamenco’s aesthetic bounds, embracing chaos and fragmentation to reveal its essence—its invisible fifth element—and make it tangible to audiences. | 4/21/2026 7:30 pm | $10-$72 | Visit joyce.org or call JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800 |
