About Milano Flamenco Festival
Author Flamenco in Milan
The Milano Flamenco Festival returns to the stage of the Teatro Strehler at the Piccolo Teatro, in Milan (Comune di Milano, Lombardy), from June 15 to 19, 2026, for its nineteenth edition. Organized by Punto Flamenco, it is one of the most important Italian events dedicated to the art of flamenco, capable of uniting tradition and contemporary research.
The Theme: 'Hilos'
The 2026 edition revolves around the theme 'Hilos' (threads): a reflection on the ability to be reborn, redefine the boundaries of identity, and question tradition by opening it up to the present. The figure of Federico García Lorca serves as the common thread, marking the 90th anniversary of his death.
Three Masters in Italian Premiere
- Úrsula López brings Lorca's unfinished work Comedia sin título to life, blending singing, dance, and the living essence of duende.
- Manuel Liñán, winner of the Premio Nacional de Danza, explores the freedom of the body in flamenco, transcending gender categories and transforming the bailaor into a fluid and revolutionary space.
- José Maya, with his company, moves between past and future to rediscover the roots and power of flamenco cante, making it a tool for truth, denunciation, and emotion.
A Widespread Festival
Starting from June 3, the city transforms into an open-air stage with social and inclusive events in various urban spaces, extending the festival beyond the theater hall and bringing flamenco into contact with the city.
