Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company
The
Spanish
Room
NOW
Step into a room transformed.
A kaleidoscope of scenes between the familiar, the visceral, and the imagined.
Step into The Spanish Room NOW with Yjastros as they inhabit scenes that shift, dissolve, and re-emerge. Movement, music, light, and scenery conjure fleeting impressions of gardens, alleyways, bars, and boudoirs. Each work of choreography transforms the emotional landscape, revealing a room with its own character, rhythm, and memory.
