  Theatre Flamenco celebrates its 60th anniversary home season, 'De Ayer a Hoy / From Yesterday to Today,' on Saturday, October 17 at Herbst Theater in San Francisco. The program will honor the legacy of Founder Adela Clara as well as Miguel Santos, the company's first artistic director, whose vision inspired an enduring tradition of flamenco in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both Clara and Santos recently passed away.

Among the luminaries who will perform is Cristina Hall, a flamenco artist originally from San Francisco who has lived in Seville for more than 20 years. She will perform a new work commissioned for the occasion.

Adrian Santana, a dancer from Malaga, Spain, will also perform. With a tribute to Theatre Flamenco's inaugural artistic director, Santana has chosen to reimagine Miguel Santos's 'Zapateado/Farruca' from 1989. Santana will also join Zertuche in a new duet honoring the founder of Theatre Flamenco.

Additional guest artists include Roberto Aguilar, Krista Bloom, Gina Giammanco, Nevarez Encinias, Aldo Ruiz, Nol Simonse and Lauren Smiley.

Guest musicians include Diego Amado Jr., singer and multi-instrumentalist from Seville, Spain Amparo Heredia, a singer based in Granada, Spain electronic musician Pascual Martinez and guitarist Jesse Torre, based in the Bay Area.

The program will feature a total of nine works, including three premieres and six reimagined pieces from Theatre Flamenco's repertoire.

Following the performance, Theatre Flamenco will host a reception in The Green Room. Guests will be treated to a lavish spread catered by Jaliscan-Californian restaurant Lolo and live music performed by invited friends.
