TIRITITRANS
And she dropped
into her chair, an Eva dead like the Marat of the suicidal "cuadro" (group), immersed
in the phonograph.
Eva La Yerbabuena
Always, while saluting
at the end, she carries with her from the stage (and from our eyes) a different
body from the one she came with.
"The quality
of the metaphor is the only thing which indicates the level of an artist and of
his/her style" (Proust).
Eva danced with
Arcangel wings.
"There is
no doubt about it; the cantaores are like fingerprints" (Luis Caballero,
"Divagaciones flamencas")
There is a springing
of the "duende", a flamenco frenzy in front of which Eva knows how to stop.
"Today I see
too much of a marathon; very few artists know how to stay still upon a stage"
(Jose Granero that same afternoon, during the presentation of his book).
