‘Tomorrow’ embodies a sense of Areli—the broken, evolving dialect of a shared future. It marks a path where tomorrow is not a distant horizon but a living thread weaving through time and space, inviting reflection and action in equal measure.
Two houses overlook the forest, their architecture subtly deepened to echo the landscape. When presented in a troba, these spaces carry a trace of origin and a distinct essence; they become places where dialogue forms. Dialogue is not always simple. It grows from listening, from mutual escort, and from respect. It can draw people closer, push them apart, or tighten the tension between them, and then still offer a gentle embrace that binds the moment together.
‘Yarin’ introduces live music by Julen Achiary within an intercultural troba, where dancer Jon Maya and bailaor Andrés Marín join forces. The performance maps a path, a camí in comú, toward a tomorrow that is constantly being shaped by collaboration and shared intention.
Its premiere took place at the Biennale de Flamenc de Sevilla in 2022, staged at Teatro Central, marking a moment when contemporary dance and flamenco intersect with fresh voices and new forms.
Andrés Marín received the National Dance Award in 2022, recognizing his contribution to the art through a career of influential performances. Kukai Dantza earned the National Dance Award in 2017 for their distinctive approach to movement and their commitment to cultural dialogue, highlighting the ongoing vitality of the genre across generations.
‘Tomorrow’ serves as the root, a living anchor from which encounters unfold. It is a dialogue that breathes with the participants, inviting them to listen deeply and engage with sincerity. The idea is not merely to perform but to co-create a space where roots and futures meet, and where the act of sharing becomes itself a form of performance.
Two men stand at the edge of its roots, seeking to relate to the surrounding environment through what they carry and what they leave behind. They come with origins, and with a sense of their own essence, offering an encounter that builds a bridge of dialogue. This dialogue is rarely effortless; it emerges from careful listening, mutual respect, and a willingness to move together. Sometimes it brings people closer, sometimes it creates distance, sometimes it tests patience, and at other times it wraps the moment in warmth, creating a shared sense of belonging that lingers beyond the stage.”
‘Yarin’ then presents an intercultural dialogue in which the dantzari Jon Maya and bailaor Andrés Marín explore, through honest exchange, the spaces where their different traditions meet. Julen Achiary’s live score accompanies this meeting, inviting the performers to reveal both their distinct identities and their shared longing to discover common ground. The journey toward tomorrow is paved by conversation and a mutual commitment to artistic risk, open to all who witness it with an engaged, attentive heart.
