Taberna Femme

Femme Tavern

“The work is a hymn to shared joy and is infused with humor and the desire to laugh. Taberna Femme plays against perfection, aspiring to fun, yet it does not lose the hallmark that characterizes Calero: the lines are perfect, the synchrony is absolute, the composition is impeccable. There is no imperfection in the choreography, only a freedom chosen with millimetric precision. Alongside the four dancers, Javier Conde excelled on the guitar—with perfect, clean, and elegant fingering—and Sergio 'el Colorao' masterfully resolved the difficult balance between the character's comedy and the demands of the singing” - Deflamenco.com

Taberna Femme

With stage direction and an original idea by Sara Calero, "Taberna Femme" invites us into an everyday scene—a table, some wine, a conversation—to reveal everything that lies behind: impulses, contradictions, strength, tenderness, and complicity among women. Alongside her, three exceptional creators—Ana Arroyo, Lucía Ruibal, and Carmen Moreno—form a scenic quartet overflowing with art and truth, together with the powerful singing of Sergio "El Colorao" and the flamenco guitar of Javier Conde. - Guía Flama

“'Taberna Femme' was born as a theatrical setting, loosely related to flamenco, where the entire story unfolded. A story of elements in dialogue, as in a scene crafted through dramaturgy, driven by footwork and modern dances, scenic symbols, and dialogues so natural they seemed to be improvised from sheer confidence and art. Seventy minutes of stimuli that led the audience to applaud tirelessly for the talent on display” - Zoco Flamenco

“With Taberna Femme, Sara Calero has moved into the territory of light” - Aquí Madrid
