Description
Friendship, betrayal, revenge, and the dawn of Flamenco …
1748, Seville:
Caridad, a former Cuban slave, wanders the streets of the city. Forced
to leave behind her young son, she has just arrived by boat to forge a
new life for herself in Spain. When she meets Milagros Carmona, a young,
rebellious gypsy, the two women instantly become friends. Milagros,
like the rest of her people, is standing up to the vicious persecution
of gypsies. When Milagros introduces Caridad to her exotic life on the
edge of society, her life is changed forever.
From the bustle of
18th-century Seville to the theatres of Madrid, THE BAREFOOT QUEEN is a
riproaring tale of friendship, betrayal and identity. Drawing us into
the world of tobacco smuggling, music, dance, and gypsies, it tells the
magnificent story of the birth of Flamenco.
