Schoolchildren have a date with the performing arts in November and December, thanks to the programming prepared by Mitusu and Azkuna Zentroa, which has rescheduled some of the shows that were cancelled in the first half of the year and added some new ones. The programme, specially adapted to the current situation, seeks to accompany children and youth as they become reacquainted with Basque language, culture and community life. Entering through the Atrium to facilitate the continuous movement of spectators, the entire cycle will take place in the Auditorium. In addition, a special protocol has been established for theatre attendance, in conjunction with the specific measures implemented by each school. The three scheduled performances are intended for schoolchildren in grades 1-6.

November, 2, 4 and 6 Monday, Wednesday and Friday Arranged with schools. Primary

«Txirristi mirristi, gerrena plat, olio zopa, kikili salda, urrup, edan edo klik, ikimilikiliklik»… sang the Basque singer-songwriter, Mikel Laboa, and we all imagined a witch. The main character is a girl who ends up becoming a witch, but she’s not the only protagonist; there’s also the word, an inescapable dramatic element. 2020 Feten Award for best performance space.

November 6, Friday 9:30am & 11:30am / 55’ Yarleku Etxerik txikiena Visual Theatre Audience: 1st and 2nd grades Basque
