Itzulera, by Dejabu Konpainia, is an irreverent and psychedelic road merging theatre and film in a live show. In this play of autofiction, the members of the company question the meaning of their creativity and identity. The company recounts its trip to Mexico in 2024 and how a chance incident there changed the course of its adventure. In addition to the performers on stage, each screening for the audience, created and projected live by a filmmaker, becomes a unique experience. A story in which the boundaries between what is represented and what is experienced are blurred, inviting the audience to be part of that journey and its outcome.

Performed in Basque with Spanish subtitles. Tickets: 12 euros.
