BRUTIFUL is a transdisciplinary project of research and reflection on the possible relationships and interactions between movement, drawing and scenic space, expressed through light and sound, as an action to capture emotional time.

A reflective, observant, expectant body that questions itself, that tries to understand itself, that seeks a curious beauty as a place of welcome, of serenity, of simplicity.

It is an internal dialogue of a body and its projection, built from the drawing. A dialogue, internal, an intrusive dialogue.

A movement happens in an instant, somewhere. Although we no longer see it, it does not disappear. Something has changed in that space.

Capturing that movement that has been suspended … to recreate it in another time. Now we see it on paper, however it is not still.

KIROLAK is a dance piece that supports creation, inclusion and popular culture from a contemporary perspective. It is inspired by Basque sports, which have their origin in the work activities of the rural environment,
transforming and reinterpreting them through dance, giving a new, more contemporary and poetic reading.
Three dancers and two txalapartaris create an abstract imaginary from the physicality and strength of the sport.
Can we find sensitivity and poetry in strength, endurance and perseverance?

Project Path

Laida Aldaz and Helena Lizari created in 2016 a short street piece around this theme, which has been shown at Dantza-Hirian 2016, DNA Festival 2016, Fitur Fair 2017, Danzad Danzad Festival Malditos 2017, Fira Mediterrania 2017 (with the collaboration of the Etxepare Institute), Cultural Event Government Delegation of Navarra in Brussels 2017, Festival DNA 2018 and Program Kultur 2018.

From this work, a long-lasting piece for theaters  has been created, for which we have received an artistic residence in Sortutakoak11 from Dantzagunea, Casa de la Danza de Guipúzcoa, choreographic assistance from DanzÁlava, economic help of Innova Cultural 2018 from Fundación Caja Navarra and La Caixa, the co-production of La Faktoria Choreographic Center, and technical residence of the Casa de Cultura de Villava, where it was presented on June 14, 2019.
