"Flamenco is both pathology and therapy, question and answer, anxiety and relief."
Like any form of artistic and human expression, it is an open door to ourselves and a possible path to fulfillment. It is all this ambivalence which is brought into abyss in this deep and committed show, heavy with meaning, full of sensitivity and poetry, where the 3 artists expose their weaknesses and their vulnerability to try to sublimate them in osmosis with the public.
The AONC + ALCÓN team

The Inner Ennemies
AONC (“Designation of Uncontrolled Origin ”) is an Instrumental Progressive Flamenco group born in Bordeaux (France) in 2017. In this new project “Los enemigos internos” (“The inner ennemies”) in collaboration with the dancer Samantha Alcón, we wanted to question our intimate relationship with flamenco, music and dance … Art. We know flamenco well as a therapeutic phenomenon: it makes us feel good, brings us together, connects us to our emotions, to ourselves and to others. But it can also be a source of doubts, existential questions, physical or psychological troubles … It confronts us with our fears, our ego, our body, our past and our way of looking at the present and the to come up.
