Oka

I installed myself in front of the computer. Write an article for Argia. What about? What write about not knowing? Too typical? Depending on what the guts set in motion when the bile turns into a word?

In theatre or literature, in my case, the choice of content and themes has not always been conscious. They do not come from in-depth reflection, documentation work or research intention with a specific objective. The motor is much simpler, more silly, more humane: my choices come from the need to vomit and the intention of love to provoke vomiting. Why? I don't know. If I'm thinking, you might find a reason, or you might invent it. But I would have to make an effort to do so. I can make an effort. Is it worth doing it? I don't know.

I write my texts at a time when there is a need to vomit: the poetic oka.
I write my texts from a society that needs to vomit: the
political oka

I've always felt like the most interesting creations that the creators who created them. I am very pleased, I am very grateful for the welcome or impact that the work of our team has had. It doesn't matter if that echo has been big or small, it doesn't matter what you compare it to, sharing the attention and energy of a single person is a gigantic gift. For example, at the moment you are reading these lines. On the other hand, if someone leads them to do their own creative work (even at the level of intimate thinking), it seems to me that it is great. The moment when another (a musician, a filmmaker, one or more dramatists) creates that movement for me because I love it myself: as his work I gather, I am creating my own work, until theirs almost loses importance.

In most cases, the work of creation exceeds the creator himself. Of course, when I write, I put it from my head, but not just. I'm constantly filming the work of other agents, the world that I am writes to a great extent what I say: childhood, people that I love, talks in coffee shops, criticisms and provocations received, books read, headlines, shocking my feet that my friends have forgiven me, applause denied by the public... The world I am writes this same article that I'm writing with me. Work should always be signed as follows: “The author’s name and context”, “The author’s name and the books he has read”, “The author’s name and his conversations with his friends”. Or no names.

I write my texts at a time when there is a need to vomit: the poetic oka. I write my texts from within a society that needs vomiting: the political oka. And this time, this society, among other things, has its guts on issues of racism and gender, bile, the waste that needs to be thrown out. I also vote for that society without knowing how, why, from where, to where.

But with the need to reach calm after vomiting.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

I will confess... [+]

The aesthetic of

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]


Industrial policies: the tool of whom?

In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]


The personality

The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]


Gurasotasun baimena

Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]

We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]

Don't say colonization

I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]

The Basque host country?

To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

The Basque Country Welcome Village

Strikes of glutamate

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]

Systems of Life

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
