Praise for spontaneity in Basque

  • The portal of the Casa de Cultura Torrezabal shows that these days Sormene is being made in Galdakao (Bizkaia), but yesterday nobody knew what he was going to find on the stage, not even the artists, because “Bapateko Sormene” was made within the Sormene project.
"Bapateko sormene" egin zuten bart iluntzean Galdakaon. (Argazkia: Xabi Ealo)

As if Alfonso Medina were conductor of orchestra, Aratxo Angulo, Beñat Armentia, Gaizka Chamizo, Garazi Arrese, Ione Ibarretxe, Marijose Bayón, Naroa Larribala, Nerea Olaizola, Nerea Olazabal, Nerea Olaial beach, The public also participated in mainly making sounds.

Beñat and Naroa dressed the story with music and song, while the others helped with dance, theater, sounds and body percussion. They all together created an unusual orchestra, all complemented.

Like the wind, the show began with dance and a slender voice, and later, with a gesture proposed by a spectator, the stage members were presented. On the board were nine chairs, keyboard, guitar, various musical instruments and a pole to make pole dance, and the director, through gestures, sign language, proposing theme and situation, embodied military, children, animals… characters of all kinds; in the end, they told the story of a turtle in just over an hour, a unique story, created at the moment and unrepeatable. And it ended with an applause of ten, many of the artists were in front of the audience of the house, in a square open to union.

Gaizka Chamizo of Galdakao promised in the beginning a bizarre act, which was often surreal, special and joyful at all times, the praise of spontaneity, after all, and also served to reclaim the love “Bapateko Sormene”.

“I want more,” one day said a song that was created and that all those who went to the Casa de Cultura Torrezabal were more hungry.
