Compañía Nacional de Danza

This instrument, its sound, its forms, its textures, have inspired Nacho Duato in the creation Txalaparta and Jaffar Calabi in the scenographic concept. “Years ago I started dreaming about a project involving the txalaparta, a sensation that came from inside me, an internal calling, a movement that suggested energy. It was later, working with Igor ad Harkaltz, that the chance to create the Quercus Endorphina came about. Without a doubt, it is the most suggestive work I have been involved in so far. It also has a curing and communicative power that has enabled me to deepen my friendship with Oreka. And as if that weren’t enough, we have the chance to see how dance, wood, metal and stone come together to delight the public with the sounds and movements unknown to them thus far but which existed inside of them all along.
Eskerrik asko to Igor, Harkaltz and Nacho for making us vibrate, for making us feel the palpitation of the txalaparta
