EVA ALARTE

Writer · Playwright · Poet · Performer · Musician

I’m Eva Alarte. I write poetry, make music, perform stand-up and create theater… because we never know how far an idea can take us. Sometimes a poem finds its way into song; a question demands its own scene; a contradiction gives us a comedy. Those creative doorways fascinate me.

My work moves between creation, research and performance, and across countries: Spain, Italy, Greece and the United States. I hold a degree in Hispanic Philology, a PhD in Language and Culture Education and a master’s in Theater Creation. I work in universities, theaters and at Instituto Cervantes… but I always return to the place where words provoke us until they lift us from the page.

My work includes poetry collections such as Ritmo de lucha and Compás de espera; short stories such as Downtown; plays such as Catatónica, Casting for President or Azah; stage adaptations of La vida es sueño and Tartufo; dramaturgical studies such as La trampa de despertar; and other work in research, education and translation.

AnyWayEva was born precisely from this journey, one that gives words freedom across space and time. A book can be born from a song, or become one once it finds its rhythm. A scene can open a question that changes how we inhabit the world. From there come research, writing, humor, poetry and music: different paths born of the same curiosity.

And here we follow the paths words open… to discover where they lead.
