Despite the fact that last year they offered a highly praised performance, this year they have not gathered enough young people to play the role of bastard, Donibane Garazi’s performance in the popular theatre section Libertiste will be lacking. In return, the carnival show, which is attracting more and more interest, will also feature a version of Hegoalde which is being organised for the first time in Pamplona.
On 24 February the Libertamento de Amikuze will be held, as in recent years in Donapaleu Square. Organized by Urepele, Banka and Aldude, the quote will be on March 17. The people of Iruña/Pamplona will intervene in their turn, with an action that they have called "the one of Iruin".
Karrikiri, Duguna, Zaldi Maldi and Euskaldunon Biltoki have promoted the "Iruinkoa" initiative (the very same ones that organised the "Bidor, the Basques of Iruñea"), in which some 70 people will participate. At 13:00 noon on March 3, the Libertinaje de Pamplona is announced, to be held in Plaza Santa Ana, where the concentration of the so-called "Exaltation" will be held from 09:45 in the morning.
If it is a distraction, as explained by the web Dantzan, "a festival of flyers to mark the beginning of the primacy", before that they celebrate the "festival of the pills" Santibate "to remember that the winter was always there. It is celebrated the day or day of San Blas. (...) In the past, the pitchforks went from home to home asking for alms. Today they continue to celebrate that feast, dancing, singing, singing, singing, singing, singing the old verses of Santibat and begging for alms in the streets."
The Santibate de Amikuze will be held this Saturday, February 9, in the streets of the Gipuzkoan town of Donapaleu.
SANTIBATE on 9 February from 5 p.m. in DONAPALEU. Young: Go out of clubs, singing, dancing, singing, singing, eating and drinking until you burst... pic.twitter.com/55cKZbqiPI
