A unique opportunity for lovers of music and dance to see some of Spain’s finest Flamenco artists on stage.

Perceptions sees flamenco dance artist Pepa Molina return to the Riverside stage following Bush Bailando premiered by FORM in 2016. Bush Bailando earned the artist the 2016 Dance Australia critic’s choice for Most Interesting Artist. In her new work, Pepa will surround herself with internationally renowned performers from Spain exploring the intricacies, superstitions and cliches in Flamenco’s past and present.

Jill Sykes – Sydney Morning Herald

"“…vivacious ‘talking’ footwork, speedy travelling steps, dazzling turns and a cracking castanet item. Pepa is a powerful dancer skilled in punctuating her moves with the strong accents of flamenco "
