In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, The Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts and The Town of Babylon Department of Human Services is proud to present Sol Y Sombra performing traditional music and dance. The brutal and inspiring stories about Carmen de Triana, the Gypsy heroine of exploited factory workers of the time haunted him all his life. The result of meticulous historic and cultural research, Tavora's revisionary tale is vividly presented through powerful ritual suggesting a Spanish Holy Week procession and the expressive traditions of flamenco dance. Their combined emotional power is reinforced by the sounds of 26 musicians, including a battalion of uniformed bugle players and drummers, as well as the singers and guitarists, who share the essentially bare stage throughout the production. In addition to performances by dancers, the riveting cast features a majestic, white stallion, whose own exquisite dancing won special notice from reviewers throughout the world.
