A tu vera

Joaquín De Luz

This trip, which starts from an apparently eccentric idea, has become an absolute coherence within me, together with my movement and the movement of the CND dancers who make up this choreography. The identity trait of the Spanish classical ballet dancer emerges naturally, and my own, in the fascinating encounter of the guitar with movement, whatever it may be.

Together with the exciting sensation that remains in my head from the explosion that occurs when Joaquín's admiration for flamenco and mine for ballet unite, A tu vera was born.
