“When I listened to the score, full of melodic and rhythmic nuances plus overwhelming force, I felt immensely inspired to create a traditional choreography that would portray my personal view on Spanish dance, more specifically, on stylised dance”.

Antonio Najarro

MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHY

Eterna Iberia comes from the discovery of the wonderful work of maestro Moreno Buendía, Celtiberia, which Antonio Ruiz Soler ‘El Bailarín’ commissioned in 1963 to create his ballet Eterna Castilla.

The ballet Eterna Iberia flows through five movements, represented in group numbers, solos, and pas de deux, that combine the use of castanets, the Spanish cape, and the Cordovan hat, as well as the technique and the interpretative strength so characteristic of our stylised dance.

An insight into the stylistic form of our roots, our essence, that translates into more modern dance forms.

COSTUME AND LIGHTING

This message is supported by the costume design of Yaiza Pinillos, who sought to give the costumes that mixture of classicism and sophistication, portraying the wealth of our country through three colours that refer to three elements: sea, olive, and wine, implemented through an innovative technique of applying mordant and pigments to dye the outfits.

The lighting design by Nicolás Fischtel gives every single movement of the work the ideal atmosphere, highlighting their expressive and aesthetic message.
