I've sung a version of Zea Mays' famous song for my own colco. March has gone and I have named him, although I know he has little original. The month of April has come, and I promise, really, that I did not want to talk about this. March purple is an overload for you. Others, perhaps, suffer binge eating and indigestion as collateral damage. The heart.

Fortunately, March did not undermine my imagination. However, I come to repeat what has been said earlier, which has been said in very different melodies and sizes. First I wanted to rescue the writings of Amancay Gaztañaga in this same magazine last November. Thus says the actor, literally, in the text Happy Us: “To think that our creations do not take place outside March or November is violence. Reducing our work to those limited dates, because we are women, is violence.” On the other hand, Onintza Engueita, in the opinion column of the Hotel de Berria, addressed the hook launched by Ines Osinaga on the networks: “A friend who knows a lot told me that in March and November creative women would have to double the rate: like hotels in summer”.

Thank you very much to the feminist organizers of March. We need you. The fact is that outside March we also need speakers, squares and bread.

It could not be otherwise, and the last time I was with Beatriz Egizabal was also in March. Magma dedicated himself to the monologue Mia from village to village and told me with joy but with responsibility that after the January and February desert he had every day of March, yes, everyone, Monday and Tuesday included. Then he asked me a question, smiling: “Do you think creative men also work in March?” I answered myself for example: “I have fear. Same, normal.”

At this point we already know that in spring the cultural offer grows naturally. But for us they do not come from the sack of culture or, if you will, from the Basque Country, making it clear that these sacks also tend to be holes. They call us from Equality, from the Houses of Women and from the Schools of Empowerment. It seems that ours is not worth as such, that it always needs an excuse or a concrete reason.

Thank you very much to the feminist organizers of March. We need you. The problem is that outside March we also need speakers, places and bread.
