Congrats, Paco!  I cannot read Spanish but downloaded the PDF anyway.  Carmen Amaya is great!  I have a CD/DVD set of her performances with Sabicas and footages.

Thank you!

  She is not related to the Amaya family but to the Pericet family, big tradition. In the interview she is talking about the show, the creative process, the figure of  Carmen and how everything came to be.

  Akira, that cd/dvd should be very interesting!

Sure!  Some of the same footages can be found on YouTube now.  Like this one.  I''m sure you have already watched it, though.

Carmen Amaya was born on November 13th 1913. I have been in charge of the visual material and today I have learnt that one of the images is used for the front cover of the magazine "Artes Escénicas".
  The 13th issue  :o :o :o

I will add that there are 13 red pieces in this photo (#386): 12 letters and 1 accent  :)

Massimo!

  Bruno that´s a great catch, where is it?

  Thanks Armando. there are more but I only share here the ones with an image. Recently I went to the supermarket and after taking many random items, the amount was a perfect 13.00 euros  :o
   This is one of the most sought after: 13th sit in a theater. Rehearsal of an open class for the parents in Zaidin, Granada.

I was born in Torino, Italy.

Torino is reputedly one of the vertexes of two triangles connecting six cities, one for black magic and the other for white magic (for those who believe it...)

Anyhow, people in this area are sometimes very superstitious.

Many hotels don't have room 13 and room 17 which are considered as bad luck numbers. They will have room 12-bis and room 16-bis instead...

Unlucky number 17 is a very local Italian superstition; in other cultures, for example in the jewish kabbalah 17 is a lucky number. But then Noah's flood reputedly started on the 17th of the 2nd month... which balances out the lucky part of #17.

Anyhow, we are on page 17 of this thread...

A classic: the 13th seat in a theater. Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona, Spain. It is a stage dedicated to dance and mostly contemporary.
