and artist Macarena Recuerda Shepherd stages ¡AY!¡YA!. In the first act, the audience is immersed in a visual universe in which word, image and dance merge through different dramaturgical routes; in the second, it plays with excitement and the gaze. It is an exercise on the image that each person has of themselves and how it transforms. The new year begins with On Goldberg Variations / Variations, by the Mal Pelo company, a piece arranged as part of the public programme of Steve Paxton Drafting Interior Techniques exhibition, which had to be postponed. After the versions by Jurij Konjar and Ion Munduate around JS Bach’s Goldberg Variations, in this third performance the choreographic proposal showcases the particular musicality of each performer and the rhythmic and dynamic dialogue between the group and the space. Amalia Fernández inhabits the three Azkuna Zentroa buildings between January and February to create, within the framework of her Expografía Retrospectiva project, various itineraries through the performative installations that go over her career. It is a site specific piece aimed at revisiting past works and rediscovering them.
The performing arts season concludes with Prototipoak. International Meeting of New Artistic Forms that is held as a biennial, and that brings new artistic formats to the communities of audiences through projects that address everyday aspects. Hotsetan. Azkuna Zentroa’s experimental music and sound art programme Experimental sound artists and performers present their work as part of Hotsetan, Azkuna Zentroa’s experimental music and sound art programme, which showcases local artists who work with experimental sound and music, through concerts. Groups and artists taking part in the programme include: raeran, Myriam RZM, Matías Riquelme & Fernando Ulzión, Mudoh, Jana Jan, EC (Estanis Comella), Killerkume, Radithor and Testura.
In April we present the premiere of Makers, by AZ Associated Artist Oscar Gómez Mata, in collaboration with actor Juan Loriente. It is a work about light, time and love, traveling between comic overflow and emotional containment, between nonsense and truth. The MDV danza company by Mikel del Valle presents in June the piece Arquitectos del aire, with an ad hoc piece for the building, through three visions of contemporary dance revolving around movement understood as an architectural language.
