Casa de la Memoria Centro Cultural Flamenco

This guide to Casa de la Memoria in Seville follows a decision two Sevillian cultural managers made in 1999: to sell only the show, with no bar, no dinner and no amplification, seating just eighty or ninety people close enough to hear a dancer's breath. It traces the financial gamble behind that choice against Seville's usual dinner-tablao model, and follows the venue's move from Barrio de Santa Cruz into a fifteenth-century building that once served the neighboring Palace of the Countess of Lebrija.
