La Yerbabuena set up her own dance company in 1988, which was made up of young, extremely talented bailaores. Her stage shows, which she performed and choreographed herself while her husband, the guitarist Paco Jarana, wrote the music for them, have been acclaimed worldwide: in the Theatre de la Ville in Paris, the Opera in Wupperthal (Germany), the Tampere Flamenco Festival, the Mont de Marsan Festival (France), the Universal Exposition in Hannover (Germany), the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico... In spite of her young age, Eva la Yerbabuena has already won important prizes: the Premio Nacional de Danza 2001 in the performance category, an award that other greats like Cristina Hoyos and Antonio Canales have been awarded, or the Premio 'La Mejorana' (1992) in the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco (National Flamenco Art Competition) in Córdoba, an award that she rejected because she felt that the awarding of other prizes in the same edition had been unfair. Among her other works, Eva La Yerbabuena has realised choreographies on order, like the one she made in 1998 for the Ballet Nacional de España, entitled Mi niña Manuela; in 2001, she gave lessons in the University of Alburquerque (New Mexico. United States). She has also worked in cinema, and took part in the films Flamenco Women (1997) and Hotel (2001), both of which were directed by Mike Figgis. In the latter, which focuses exclusively on flamenco dancing, La Yerbabuena's artistry stands out especially. |
