“A choreographic and oneiric dive into the labyrinth of Basque culture on a quest to find what constitutes its identity.”

—Malika Baaziz for 73rd Edition of Avignon Festival

This project is the result of bringing together Kukai Dantza and Marcos Morau. It is a union between two choreographic universes and two perspectives of dancing that navigate between the most popular roots and the most avant-garde expressions. Oskara is a performance and an installation work which reviews some aspects of the Basque culture and myths, from their origins to the present. Describing a visual and emotional path of symbols and iconography with an ambiguous and disconcerting power which, in the most absolute way, contains the history of the human experience throughout life.
