Created by flamenco dancer and choreographer Lindsey Bourassa, El Lobo y La Paloma (The Wolf and The Dove) is a multimedia, contemporary flamenco performance that explores themes of loss and connection. Through all original flamenco dance, Arabic music and song, poetry, and projected imagery, the filmed live performance tells a story about the loss of a loved one and the mystical connections between physical and spiritual worlds.

Inspired by the loss of Bourassa’s father in 2015, El Lobo y La Paloma strives to honor the universal experience of loss; that of losing a loved one, a homeland, a freedom, a right, an identity, an ability. It honors the reconstruction of our relationship with our lost being or object, and grief being vital to the process of healing.

El Lobo y La Paloma was produced to empower viewers to honor that which they’ve lost and grieve, to contemplate how they might take steps toward healing, and in some cases, to ponder the legacy they wish to leave this world. Since its 2019 premiere, the filmed performance has been seen via theatrical screenings, streaming online, and distributed by Edovo, a nation-wide digital platform to meet the education, communication, and rehabilitation needs of justice-involved people and their loved ones.

The decision to make El Lobo y La Paloma available on an online platform was expedited by the shock and devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in contemplation of such unprecedented disruption and loss, it is the wish of the artistic team that this work can be used as a means to create space for grief and form connections for those who grieve.
