Palabra Flamenco’s Fox Woman

Palabra Flamenco presents
FOX WOMAN
in association with the The Toronto Fringe

FOX WOMAN is a 45-minute performance of flamenco dance and guitar alongside oral storytelling. When a mysterious and powerful fox woman appears unexpectedly in his hut, a lonely hunter is forced to choose between the wild and the tamed. How to accommodate one another? Before our hatred of the wild, before today’s ecological crisis, there was a love affair.

Flamenco dancer and storyteller Denise Yeo retells this Siberian myth accompanied by her husband, accomplished flamenco guitarist Gareth Owen. With an array of evocative, traditional flamenco dances, Yeo embodies Fox Woman and the Hunter through hypnotic and improvised movement and rhythm, drenched with the darkest impulses.

Fox Woman tells a story about our relationship with the wild — in ourselves and others — and our emerging ecological crisis. It’s also a story that empowers us, in our human relationships, to leave situations that are not safe.

“There’s virtuosity to burn… Let it wash over you.”

— Showbill Canada

“Denise Yeo is a spitfire…”
— Janis La Couvée, theatre reviewer

“Gareth Owen plays like he has a hundred fingers…”
— The Georgia Straight
