Photography Mendi UrruzunoRoot. Encounter. Dialogue.
We find two men gaze from their roots, who delve into them as a way of relating to their environment. Thy arrive with their own origins and essence, they present us with an encounter; they converse… Dialogue is not always easy, it is constructed from listening, respect… Sometimes it brings us closer, other times it pushes us away, sometimes it puts pressure on us… and it also hugs us.
'Yarin' presents us with an intercultural encounter, in which the Basque dancer Jon Maya and the flamenco dancer Andrés Marín, accompanied by live music by Julen Achiary, meet one another on the basis of an honest dialogue, which shows us their differences and their desire to share via these a common path towards tomorrow.
