Edinburgh stalwart, Ricardo Garcia brings a brand new Gypsy Flamenco show to the Fringe this year - his eighth Edinburgh Festival! Previous shows were Critic's Choices at the Edinburgh, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg Fringes and last year's show won the Audience Choice Award in Vancouver.
Set in the round at the Pleasance Queen Dome, the audience joins a high- octane Gypsy Flamenco Fiesta round the fire! Passionate and joyful, the music and dance are matched by the “masterful skill” of Ricardo on guitar and La Clara’s “stunning knife-sharp” footwork.

Inspired by the feverish, homeward walk of the 19th century English poet John Clare from a lunatic asylum in Essex to his home village, Out Of Your Knowledge is a topical and engrossing journey through Britain’s green and pleasant land. The play is illuminated by John Clare’s own verse and prose, and questions our changing attitude towards the landscape whilst revealing some surprising secrets that lie within the British countryside.
