Hika Teatroa: ‘Gazte’ 

‘Gazte’ is a production by Hika Teatroa in collaboration with the Oinkari Dantza Taldea dance troupe. In the search for a unique aesthetic and language, ´Gazte´ starts with traditional Basque dance and moves towards other types of dance, accompanied by music, vocals and written words. 

For 33 years, Hika Teatroa has tirelessly pursued artistic exploration and innovation under the leadership of Agurtzane Intxaurraga, a woman who combines visual poetry and stage rebellion. Hika Teatroa´s productions have a profound social essence, consistently challenging the audience to grapple with their own beliefs and perceptions.
