On Friday, May 4, Pasion Flamenco
Productions will bring Flamenco Din­
ner Theater to the Acadian Ballroom.
1829 N.E. Alberta St., for the first
time ever, featuring authentic fla­
menco performers directly from Spain.
A vibrant art form with ancient
roots,flam enco has become an interna­
tionally celebrated phenomenon. In its
birthplace, flamenco is not simply a
staged performance “acted out" before
an audience of strangers. Rather, fla­
menco lives and breathe where friends
gather to share life, or la vida!
In Spain, flam enco becomes more
than just a performance - it becomes an
intimate form of expression between
friends, fam ilies and lovers.
This performance will envelope the
participants in the flavors, sounds, sights
and smells of a true flamenco evening,
as they savor the cuisine o f Spain while
watching the fiery performance of danc­
ers of Madrid.
Admission is $99, which includes hors
d ’oeuvre, a five-course meal, dessert,
all non-alcoholic beverages and gratu­
ity.

(AP) — The governm ent will evacu­
ate residents and businesses from the
banks of a fjord in southern Chile where
10 people were swept away by 26-foot
waves follow ing a pow erful earthquake.
At least three people died Saturday
when they were engulfed by the massive
waves, which were triggered by a 6.2-
m agnitude quake that sent avalanches
o f rock crashing into the w ater at the
base o f Aysen Fjord. Rescuers were
searching Monday for the other seven
people.
Experts warned that the fjord is unsafe
____________ THE____________
because o f continuing seismic activity
in the area. There have been hundreds of
quakes in the region since Jan. 22. most
too weak to be felt. Seism ologist O scar
Aranda, who is investigating the quakes
for the governm ent, recom m ended that
people not remain at the base of the fjord.
President M ichelle Bachelet on Sun­
day visited Puerto Aysen, a city close to
the fjord about 1,700 miles south o f the
Chilean capital o f Santiago, where she
was met by hundreds o f angry residents
who claim the governm ent is not paying
attention to their needs.
A tremor rocks southern Chile's Aysen fjord on
Saturday. Authorities say repeated earthquakes in
the area may be related to the birth o f an under­
sea volcano.
