SUMMARY:La ausencia y la ciudad \, de Cristina Candela - Book Presentation – Q&A with the Author
DESCRIPTION:An intimate evening of poetry and conversation featuring Cristina Candela’s La ausencia y la ciudad / Absence and the City\, exploring desire\, absence\, migration\, and the experience of inhabiting New York City. \nSinopsis — La ausencia y la ciudad: \n«Me voy a fumar esta ciudad»\, escribe Cristina Candela\, y en ese verso condensa toda una relación física y visceral con Nueva York: una ciudad que se recorre\, se respira y termina por incorporarse al cuerpo. En La ausencia y la ciudad / Absence and the City\, la autora convierte el deseo\, la pérdida y la experiencia de habitar esta metrópolis en materia poética\, transitando de la intimidad de los vínculos afectivos al espacio urbano\, donde el metro\, las lavanderías\, el High Line\, Times Square\, Loisaida\, los neones y las calles dejan de ser simple escenario para adquirir voz propia. \nOrganizado en dos secciones —«Ausencia» y «Nueva York»— seguidas de dos «Bonus Tracks»\, el poemario explora la ruptura\, las contradicciones del deseo y las formas de pertenencia que solo surgen en una ciudad hecha de movimiento y de encuentro entre culturas. \nLa convivencia del español y el inglés reproduce el pulso de una metrópolis migrante y polifónica. Con una voz sensual\, directa e irreverente\, Candela aborda también la violencia contra las mujeres\, la xenofobia\, el racismo y la desigualdad\, oponiendo a las estructuras que buscan disciplinar los cuerpos una poética del movimiento\, la diferencia y la libertad. \nCon traducción al inglés de Magdalena Arias y prólogo de Nilton Maa\, La ausencia y la ciudad / Absence and the City es\, en definitiva\, un poemario sobre lo que perdemos\, lo que deseamos y las ciudades que\, mientras las habitamos\, terminan también habitándonos. \nAcerca de  Cristina Candela: \n Cristina Candela es poeta y bailaora de flamenco. Ha vivido en Estambul\, Granada\, Barcelona y Nueva York\, ciudades que atraviesan su escritura y su manera de entender el cuerpo\, el movimiento y la experiencia urbana. Escribe con frecuencia durante sus trayectos en el metro y encuentra en la ciudad\, sus encuentros y contradicciones una materia esencial para su creación. \nSu poesía se caracteriza por una voz directa\, corporal e irreverente\, en la que confluyen deseo\, desplazamiento\, identidad y libertad. Su obra incorpora también una mirada crítica sobre la violencia contra las mujeres\, la xenofobia\, el racismo y la desigualdad\, reivindicando el cuerpo y la diferencia como territorios de resistencia y creación. \nEn 2023 publicó su primer poemario\, La piel no es frontera\, con la Editorial Talón de Aquiles de Barcelona. En 2026 publica La ausencia y la ciudad / Absence and the City\, su segundo poemario y primera edición bilingüe\, con Nueva York Poetry Press.

SUMMARY:Cristina Candela\, Juan Pedro Jimenez & Dustin Carlson | Flamenco
DESCRIPTION:Join Cristina Candela\, Juan Pedro Jiménez\, and Dustin Carlson for an evening rooted in the depth and tradition of flamenco. Through expressive dance\, powerful cante\, and guitar\, the performance unfolds with intensity\, precision\, and resonance\, revealing the dialogue at the heart of this art form. \n7:00 PM to 8:00 PM (First Set)  \n9:00 PM to 10:00 PM (Second Set)  \nAdmission: $20: Cover at Mezzanine. \nFeaturing: \n\n\nCristina Candela / Bailaora \n\n\nDustin Carlson / Guitar \n\n\nJuan Pedro Jimenez / Cantaor \n\n\nAbout Cristina Candela: \nSince 2007\, I have been working as a flamenco dancer. My experience spans a variety of settings\, including tablaos like El Patio Andaluz in Barcelona\, and international tours in Malaysia and Singapore with Chalachi. I’ve contributed to companies such as Maria Carrasco Cia and Apuchelando Cia in multiple roles: dancing\, choreographing\, and producing. \nI’ve also engaged in fusion projects\, notably with Anlage Cia in Granada\, and in artistic-educational initiatives. For instance\, I served as part of the ambassador group for the “Voices of Tomorrow” project under the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation. \nMy involvement in the arts extends to film. I’ve acted\, danced\, and worked in production for several short and independent films. \nMy interests encompass all aspects of performing and audiovisual arts. I’m as fascinated with the spotlight as I am with behind-the-scenes work. From a young age\, I’ve been driven by a desire to create – to dance\, choreograph\, design scenographies. My foremost aim is to express my vision of the world as clearly as possible. \nTo this day\, the words of Pina Bausch echo in my mind: “Dance\, dance\, otherwise we are lost.” \nAbout Juan Pedro Jiménez: \nJuan Pedro Jiménez is a cantaor from Cádiz\, in the south of Spain\, deeply rooted in the flamenco traditions of Andalusia. Raised performing alongside the gypsy family Romeros de Vejer\, he developed his voice within an environment where flamenco is lived as a daily\, communal expression. \nA singer and guitarist\, Juan Pedro refined his musical foundation through formal studies at the Royal Conservatory\, while maintaining a strong connection to the oral and lived traditions of cante. His singing carries the depth\, intensity\, and emotional directness characteristic of his homeland. \nHe has performed extensively throughout Andalusia\, including appearances at the Ferias of Sevilla\, Jerez\, El Puerto de Santa María\, Sanlúcar\, Algeciras\, and Córdoba. He has also participated in El Rocío with the Hermandad de Jerez\, as well as in Peñas Flamencas and festivals across the Province of Cádiz. \nWherever he performs\, Juan Pedro Jiménez brings a voice shaped by tradition\, experience\, and a profound connection to the cultural landscape of southern Spain.
