About this Event
Copla: A Spanish Cabaret
Copla: A Spanish Cabaret sees the first English translation of Copla music performed in the UK, as queer migrant performer Alejandro Postigo brings the wow-factor through his rebirth into his fabulous alter ego, La Gitana. Once repressed under the Spanish dictatorship, Copla music was transformed by Spanish drag artists in the 1980s, and is given new life in Alejandro’s interactive solo performance. Drawing upon his personal experiences, this electrifying performance of English Copla will enthral audiences from across the globe.
Accompanied by vibrant live music and brimming with comedy, the show will refresh Copla music to create an inclusive, comprehensive and accessible space for audiences of all backgrounds. The translated Copla music will channel queer and migrant experiences, hitting all the right notes for those who love to laugh and cry to divas and their melodramatic music.
