Karen Lugo is a wonderful blow to the purists. She is a maximum beauty wrapped in a minimalist form. She has all the volcanic strength of her homeland, Mexico. Lugo has directed and choreographed The DeMente Territor, which will be performed by Lugo with three musicians, two singers and a male dancer delivering flamenco in its most authentic and glorious form. Her volcanic energy is a force to behold.Casa Patas is located in the Lavapies quarter of Madrid, a barrio with deep ties to the history and culture of flamenco in the city of Madrid. Founded in 1985, Casa Patas has been the cultural focal point of the Madrid flamenco scene from its inception. Also notable is the development and growth of Casa Patas resulting from the years of creating an authentic flamenco experience. The owners worked with the flamenco community in the year 2000 to found the Fundación Conservatorio Flamenco Casa Patas. This foundation is dedicated to the promotion and growth of flamenco dance, song and music, both on a national and international level and including professionals, amateurs and fans. The foundation has helped organize events in for visiting students in Spain, as well as abroad, such as this current US tour.
