What's it about

The Serantes Kultur Aretoa will host from 31 October to 3 December the 47th edition of the Santurtz i Theatre Festival, the longest-running theatre competition in Bizkaia and a consolidated cultural reference in Euskadi. This edition features 19 shows, 7 of which premiere in Euskadi. The programme brings together performers such as Sergi López, José Sacristán, Imanol Arias, María Barranco, Anabel Alonso, Joseba Apaolaza, Miriam Gallego, Amaia Lizarralde, Diana Pla Solina, among others, and prominent directors including Claudio Tolcachir, Natalia Menéndez, María Goiricelaya, Juan Carlos Rubio, Juan Carlos Fisher, Heidi Steinhardt, Roger Bernat and Garbi Losada. This edition speaks, above all, about us, about people, about our relationships, family, love and its limits, violence, loneliness, memory and the need to find our place in a world we do not always understand, through a diverse programme that recovers great stories and classics to ask ourselves who we are today.
