Wooden bench
- Today we are in a poetic reading about the scenario of the Oihaneder of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The topic to be discussed will be the last poem that has closed the book Ilfabeto, by Iñigo Astiz, and the performance of Mikel Ayerbe, in 'EITB Kultura'.
Love, death, friendship and politics will be the main axes of the day. We will delve into the world of sensations and emotions. The Twenty-one poem is an essay that gathers “everything” or the world today. An attempt to understand this 21st century, composed of messages and codes.
The stage is dark and the small bank is illuminated by a spotlight. Ayerbe has appeared with an empty Coca-Cola plastic bottle, like a kid playing with an airplane. After circling the stage, Iñigo has started reciting the poem titled "Burubero". He tells us that the time of space and cosmonauts is over, that the century of particles has come and that the universe is in us.
The interpreter has begun to inflame the boat bought in Decathlon for 30 euros, while on the other side of the Mediterranean the narrator says that the same boat costs 300 €. Ayerbe has mounted the boat, yellow and black, and has been circling the spectators with infantile attitude.
“There are more dead people than I live, but no one is able to remember the names of all the dead and for now it is enough for me to think that they are more per cent.” With a personal reflection on death he has introduced the following theme. It says it's the century of percentages. Every day we see and hear thousands of data, it has shown the relationship between the data issuer and the data through some examples: “More than 50% of the population suffers a gap in mobile screen, a study conducted by mobile homes.”
He has insisted that it is the age of transfers, marketing and ideas, but he has insisted that it only relied on ideas, not ideas but in things. The performance has appeared with a cardboard box that could be from Ikea, has removed instructions and wooden plates from its interior and has started to assemble what will be a table.
Coca-Cola has been filled with cans with the table and the chair, and the little red boats have been taking more and more space on stage. The narrator has taken us to 2017, specifically to Erandio. You're drinking a Coca-Cola to test closed factories and cranes that are standing on the river bank. He wants to show that the kingdom of things is exhausted and realizes that he lives through the echo that things have left.
Ayerbe, on the mounted table, has placed the wooden bench that existed from the beginning and has placed several cans scattered around the stage, one on the other and next. He puts an empty glass on the top and starts to pour Coca-Cola inside. As the glass filled and overflowed, the sugary liquid spread across the ground as if it were a leap of water.

Spring is usually a promise of a cold winter nose that can come after the landing, and has been annotated several times for sleep. Promise, however, is never a safe spring in a ruined terrain. Not at least if we are talking about change or, in particular, revolution. Maddi... [+]
We opened the poems book by Oihana Jaka and found two deals. One father and another son. It is worth noting for its direct relationship with the poems we will find. The book is structured in three parts:

A few years ago, I wrote a little book about Tene Mujika, which is called Udazken Argitan. When I started doing that biographical essay, I met our protagonist today, Mr. Watson Kirkconnell. In 1928, Kirkconnell published a nice book of European Elect anthology, which included... [+]
I do not remember who I heard that at the end of the month you can only write poetry, if poetry is not your way to the end of the month. Poetry, fortunately or unfortunately, has always been on the periphery of the literary system and the cultural industry. In any case, poets... [+]

After seeing the word, I thought I would write the chronicle. I've thought, why is it [pause] to recite [pause] so poems are? I've also told my friends I'm going to a poetic recital. And they've also told me uf, I don't understand poetry. I've been opened up by dogs and eyes and... [+]
