Yerbaguena (bright dark): where rigidity mutates and becomes flexible

That is why she is Eva Yerbabuena and, with her, darkness can shine.
Eva Yerbabuena appeals again to duality as an expressive but reflective
form in the end. Delving into two fundamentally opposite and
complementary, but interconnected, forces, the dancer and
choreographer pounces on a maxim that is increasingly present in her
creations: nothing exists in its pure state nor in absolute stillness.

Thus, and in a continuous conversion that is developed during the
four parts or numbers into which bright dark is divided, Yerbabuena
verifies the certainty of what she has always believed. And, as she
herself defends, “continuous transformation is a morbid provocation
that not only exists, but also gives meaning to everything.”

That is why in this, her nineteenth show, she moves between the most
absolute rigidity and resounding flexibility, between stillness and
movement, light and darkness, between singing and dancing, classicism
and avant-garde, craftsmanship and technology... to rethink what she
already believed to be absolute and fixed.

That is why she rejects modernity to immerse herself in it.
That is why she tramples on structures to enhance them.
That is why rigidity mutates and becomes flexible.

That is why she is Eva Yerbabuena and, with her, darkness can shine.
