With a tradition and fan-base to rival flamenco, Fado is the blues of Portugal, holding audiences in thrall with haunting melodies and passionate expression. Nuno Silva has brought together an international team of dancers and musicians for A Darker Shade of Fado where sensual dance and soul-bearing Fado meet. Drawing on the traditions of his Portuguese roots, Silva evokes the excitement and unpretentiousness of Lisbon old quarter in dramatic new fashion. An individual artist, Nuno Silva's career spans contemporary dance (Henri Oguike, Luca Silvestrini, Javier de Frutos and Arthur Pita), classical opera (Mahogany Opera, Cork Opera) and West End musicals (Cabaret, The Light Princess). Running time: 60mins. Suitable for ages 12+
