THE SPANISH GUITAR is an epic tale that integrates live performance with real footage of Benise, in his voyage across the globe….to the cobblestone streets of OLD HAVANA, an ARABIAN DESERT, the romantic canals of VENICE, the oldest Bullring in SPAIN, a quaint Paris Café, and the sacred Temples of INDIA.

The enchanted Spanish Guitar becomes a treasure chest of inspiration - the keeper of stories of glory and tragedy through times and world’s gone by.

Benise masterful playing, brilliantly choreographed dance numbers, orchestral pieces, breathtaking couture fashion, and the unparalleled beauty of Benise female dancers (The Gitana’s), gives Spanish dance a luminous makeover.

Benise’s THE SPANISH GUITAR will take us to worlds both faraway and deeply personal, and remind us that hope can be the healing thread in all of our lives.
