In 1999, Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company set forth on an artistic journey that would become America’s most distinctive flamenco project. This revolutionary performance entity combines the mosaic quality of the American repertory company with the authentic idiom of flamenco, creating a living archive of choreographic masterworks.

This fall’s performance season called for a special, creative response to the difficult and unusual time that we are all experiencing. With that in mind, Yjastros Artistic Director Joaquin Encinias teamed up with Incredible Films to create Inside Yjastros, a unique streaming project that blends the power and beauty of performance by Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company with documentary footage from the company’s 20th year.

There are many women who have made me who I am today and have influenced what my dance has become. All the women I wasn’t and the women I lived.” – Irene Lozano
