On 18 and 19 January, the flamenco show 'Faro', directed, danced and choreographed by Eduardo Guerrero from Cádiz, will arrive at Expo Dubai 2020 as part of the cultural programme of the Spanish Pavilion. Faro' can be seen both days at the Dubai Millennium at 20:00.

'Faro' is a flamenco show inspired by the poetry of the lighthouse. It was created especially for a tour that toured some lighthouses in Spain in the summer of 2017. Starting in the north, in the Asturian Faro de Peñas, visiting Avilés and the Faro de la Cerda in Santander, to continue in the south from El Rompido in Huelva to Sacratif in Granada and touring Levante from Cartagena to Tarragona to finish in Cádiz, whose lighthouse remains in Eduardo Guerrero's earliest childhood memories.

The scene of storms and splendid sunrises, of departures and joyful encounters, witness to countless battles and magical celebrations, the lighthouse welcomes Eduardo Guerrero's dance as naturally as it enjoys spectacular and nostalgic sunsets.

'Faro' is a work without a storyline, where we taste different flamenco palos and versions of mythical songs that have been inspired by its image. In 'Faro', musical numbers are interspersed with Eduardo Guerrero's dancing in such a way that the show crescendos. With a brief, white set design, the colour of the costumes and the magnificent, precise choreographies take centre stage.
