Eva Yerbabuena: Yerbagüena (Bright Dark)

Register

“She exposes a beauty in flamenco I doubt any had believed could exist.’ — Evening Standard

Created and choreographed by the acclaimed flamenco dancer Eva Yerbabuena, Yerbagüena is a captivating experience that is both powerful, sensual and awe-inspiring.

In her nineteenth production, Yerbabuena defies convention, seamlessly blending classicism with the avant-garde and craftsmanship with technology. She reimagines the traditional, demonstrating that even darkness can radiate brilliance.

Featuring a talented flamenco singing ensemble, Eva Yerbabuena’s Yerbagüena explores duality, reflecting the interplay of opposites: light and dark, stillness and movement, tradition and innovation. Divided into four transformative acts, the performance embodies her belief that “continuous transformation gives meaning to everything.”

Born in Frankfurt and raised in Granada, Eva Yerbabuena is hailed as “a visionary and masterful dancer” (The Guardian), “touched by greatness” (The Times), and “a once-in-a-generation artist” (The Independent). Mentored by flamenco legends, she founded her company at 28, earning global acclaim, numerous awards, and praise for her collaborations with icons like Pina Bausch and Mikhail Baryshnikov.
