Pasatxo was an old-fashioned dance teacher. He has been the last master who has used the way of transmitting and teaching local dances in previous generations. From there and focusing on the figure of his dancer and footballer, the fifteen interviewees of the documentary have looked at the history of the dances of Beasain Loinaz, as well as the future.

The documentary was directed by Mikel Álvarez, producer Bira Produkzioak. He says it will be a documentary that will have a special place in his heart, as in the boys Loinaz is a festive dancer and Uncle Pasatxo. The proposal came from the group of Aurtzaka dances and from the beginning saw it clear that it was a project to be carried out.

So, after a few months, the audiovisual work is ready to complete and visualize it. The première will be on June 3. The first session is aimed at participants and guests, but tickets are exhausted. The official premiere will be on June 6 at 20:15 at the Teatro Usurbe. Tickets can be purchased at the box office and in kutxabank.

Overview

Paxatxo was the last dance teacher in the old way, as it has been the last link in the dance teaching model that has been passed down from several generations.

His death hit Beasain, and in recent years, customs adapted to the new times, for the first time, have worried about the future. Is there tradition without master dance? And will it be the last?

It's not ephemeral, no, Basque language dance.

The idea that we in the dance world often repeat is that dance is ephemeral. The Elhuyar dictionary gives as a counterpart to "ephemeral" English: ephemeral, destructive, perishable, ephemeral, ephemeral, perishable, perishable, ilaun. I don't remember who I first read that idea... [+]
