Communication/incommunication. The very title of the show, created by the Arriaga Theatre, the Ttanttaka Theatre and the Kukai Dance Company, summarizes the history of the show. They have added eleven vertices to the square concept that is understood by communication. Through the mixing of different words or languages they have drawn different unreal situations, but they have discovered a language of understanding: dance.

 

This is the fourth joint work between the Kukai Dance Company and the Ttanttaka Theater. Once again, the show combines music, dance and theater. The film is directed by actress Mireia Gabilondo and dancer Jon Maia.

 

Dance is often associated with incommunication, incommunication. The show is full of movements that want to revolutionize that myth. It highlights the freedom that each participant wants to achieve in their field and the desire to access the public. And, above all, that among unknown people, one can understand one way or another. Go up on stage with the intention of starting the first syllable from the aforementioned incommunication, as if they had had breakfast a potion loaded with fresh air, feeling and freedom.

 

It is therefore a spectacle full of demands, with small messages and details. Each spectator will understand it in his own way, depending on the rays he has received. The public will be able to enjoy a Macedonia in which several languages that are not known in the Basque Country are mixed. While difficulties in understanding can hinder the relationship and distract attention, it will begin to understand the most unknown language: that of dance. In particular, the Kukai Dance Company. The spectacle is, therefore, the body expression, the story of the bodies.

 

“Mikel Laboa looked through the eyes of communicative incommunication and we looked at the windows opened by those sources of inspiration,” they wrote in the introductory leaflet. Therefore, they offer the possibility to smell Laboa's music. But, in spite of that, the leading role lies in silence. This would be another argument for understanding the powerful language of dance. The silence has been marked by the parts of the body of the participants: steps, applause, whistles, skirts, breath, intentions, looks…

 

Also, the accordion and percussion have set the scene. From the best-known melodies of Euskal Herria, the possibility opens to the elegant melodies of tango. Music is made live. Sometimes voices are also heard, because there is theater through. The Ttanttaka Theatre plays a leading role in this area. The characters depicting Miren Gaztañaga and Aitor Beltrán have made their eyes open even more, which has also contributed to humor.

 

About the world of music, what better way to end a metaphor than the accordion. “The left hand represents the heartbeat. The bellows breathe. And the right hand gives hope." That is what the last words of Aitor Beltrán said.
