Ara Malikian – Intruso

Booking Required

Ara Malikian leads his ensemble in Intruso, a virtuosic programme where Bach and Mozart converse with jazz, flamenco, klezmer and Cuban rhythms. Malikian’s fiery violin anchors improvisatory exchanges alongside Iván “Melón” Lewis (piano), Dayan Abad (guitar), Iván Ruiz Machado (bass, double bass) and Pico Millán (drums). The arrangements blur classical precision and street-born spontaneity, shifting between intimate, lyrical passages and raucous, dance-infused eruptions to create a cinematic, emotionally charged sonic journey.

Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine.
