Internationally acclaimed and award-winning South African based guitarist James Grace and dancers from Carli Spanish Dance Productions in Johannesburg will return to the Theatre on the Bay with Recuerdos.
The all-Spanish guitar and dance programme features the music of composers such as Albéniz, Granados, De Falla, Rodrigo and Tárrega. The programme is set against the backdrop of stunning underwater photography by Ilse Moore.

Carli Olivier – Carli Spanish Dance Productions

Carli’s dance influence include Spanish, modern, tap, contemporary and African disciplines. Carli is a regular visitor to Spain and particularly Jerez, where she attends the annual Flamenco Dance Festival.
Ilse Moore
The water is Ilse’s canvas that she uses to paint, draw and illustrate through photography – creating something new and something that connects us with what we feel around us, the things that make us live, breathe, feel and exist. From the divine connection between a mother and child to a symbol of personal freedom and strength through suspended weightlessness, Ilse creates a space where one’s inner voice becomes a reality.
