Jacob Arulandu '26 is a pre-med, Math and Spanish major who was looking for a way to combine his passion for Spanish and flamenco (he even got to dance on stage with our visting flamenco artists at the sold out Leighton auditorium at DPAC) and his pre-med work. He was able to write grants to get funding funding to go to Seville and Málaga to create this beautiful documentary. Please come if you can. This counts for experiencial learning. I think you'll enjoy seeing it and hearing about Jacob's experience.
Jacob invites you and your students to a special screening of "Cinco Corazones: Una Historia de la Comunidad Flamenca en Andalucía," a one-hour documentary followed by a brief talk-back. Jacob is a Math and Spanish major, a pre-med student, and a Glynn Family Honors Scholar who has explored flamenco through the unique lens of self-healing communities.
His work, which grew out of his Honors Thesis research in Seville, is a moving, artistic, and melodic work that beautifully captures the spirit of the flamenco community there. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles. We would love to see you there for this moving testimonial of communal healing and art.
This project has been supported by the Glynn Family Honors Program, the Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures (CSLC), the Institute for Latino Studies (ILS), and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures.
