February 2004 + EVA YERBABUENA
CAL
PERFORMANCES PRESENTS Spain’s
most exciting young bailaora, Eva Yerbabuena, comes to Zellerbach Hall
Saturday, February 28 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 29 at 7:00 p.m.
in an evening that promises passion, precision and pulse-pounding excitement.
Eva Yerbabuena is acclaimed by many as the most important flamenco artist
working today, receiving accolades for the purity of her work and the
intensity of her spirit. “Even standing completely still, Eva Yerbabuena
is a mesmerizing presence,” hails the Boston Globe. “The flamenco
dancer is so tightly coiled, so poised to explode in a rush of white heat,
you dare not look away less you miss the riveting turn of the head or
curl of the fingers...that summons the soul of the dance.” Performing
with her company of five dancers and seven musicians, Yerbabuena strips
flamenco to its bare essentials: dramatic footwork, dreamlike solos and
the eloquent grace of a dancer at her peak. EVA
YERBABUENA
Although
her passion is traditional flamenco, she has not isolated herself from
other forms of dance. In her quest for longer narrative pieces for her
company, she studied Pina Bausch’s work who, in turn, returned the
compliment when she invited Yerbabuena to perform with Mikhail Baryshnikov,
Caetano Veloso, Marie-Claude Pietragalla and Ana Laguna at Bausch's annual
festival in Wuppertal, Germany. Yerbabuena excites audiences and fellow
artists alike. Film director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) featured
Yerbabuena in his 1997 documentary, Flamenco Women. “Eva Yerbabuena
is an extraordinary artist, she’s unique…she will not disappoint
you,” says Figgis. Sending the documentary to William Forsythe, the
great American choreographer was immensely impressed, observing that “[Yerbabuena]
inspired me to use more heart and less intellect.” Since
the company’s founding in 1998, Ballet Flamenco Eva Yerbabuena has
toured throughout Europe and has recently increased its performance schedule
to reach an even wider global audience. Audiences are enthralled with
Yerbabuena’s explosive footwork and the graceful movements of her
arms and hands. But above all, audiences respond to her duende, the soulfulness
that is the trademark of flamenco. In 2001, Yerbabuena was awarded Spain’s
most revered prize for dance, Premio Nacional de Danza. She has also won
the Flamenco Hoy for Best Dancer for three consecutive years, and at the
11th Biennial in Seville in 2000, Eva Yerbabuena received the Best Performance
and Best Ballerina honors for her work. World
