Teatro Flamenco Madrid launches the first edition of Teatro Flamenco Madrid Lab, a programme of artistic residencies aimed at supporting flamenco creators across the board by helping to create and promote new flamenco projects.

With this innovative programme, Teatro Flamenco Madrid hopes to push the creative boundaries in flamenco and provide a space for the creation and launch of new flamenco shows.
