In the Mythological Age
Pello Reparaz predicted that it would be new and different and, no doubt, it was the performance of the Zetak group in Illumbe last night, at the Mitoaroa II.
Beyond being a concert, the show was the one that thousands of people enjoyed last night, a superproduction and an experience of immersion, because from the headphones the audience heard all the music and the voices and conversations of the actors and characters who participated in the performance.
No music could be heard except the helmets, but thousands of throats sang capella and enthusiastically.
As the mythology of I in the Navarre Arena, Basque mythology was one of the main themes of the story, this time also highlighting the mark of the Church and the Inquisition, which was placed at the time when mythological beings were banished from the earth, going back to the fifteenth century in history.
Indeed, in order to promote personal and collective reflection, social and political criticism, the denunciation of the genocide in Gaza, of course, but also the destruction of nature and the world of concrete, or forms of consumption, including that of culture; and on the basis of these, Reparaz implicitly gave rise to the internal question: where do I stand in the face of these realities?
There were many well-known faces of Basque culture on the stage, including Aitziber Garmendia, Yune Nogeiras, Josean Bengoetxea, Antton Telleria, Javier Botet and Ignatius Farray. There was also Maixux Zugarramurdi in his old costume.
Today and tomorrow Sunday Illumbe will also be filled to the top.
Today, however, you will be able to watch and listen live on Mitoaroa II Primeran and EITB2.
