Rite

With an explosive and visceral performance, La Otra Orilla reinvigorates its essence and returns to the profound roots of flamenco art.

In Rite, the synergy of body, voice, guitar, and percussion intertwines, featuring four virtuosic artists: Myriam Allard, Hedi Graja, Caroline Planté, and Miguel Medina. This production unfolds as an intimate dialogue, where each artist articulates their voice while harmonizing with the others. Rite embodies the unfiltered, potent, and captivating allure of a ritual, where spectators and performers unite in a profound communion—a harmonious convergence of hearts, breaths, and spirits, epitomizing flamenco’s most sacred essence.

“To Hedi Graja’s gorgeous, elegiac voice. Allard is larger than life on stage.”
