PROTOTIPOAK. INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF NEW ARTISTIC FORMS

FROM MAY 25, 2016 TO MAY 28, 2016

From 25 to 28 May Azkuna Zentroa will be organising the International Meeting of New Artistic Forms titled 'Prototipoak', as the highlight of the programme ‘3, 2, 1, International Meeting of New Scenic Forms’. This international meeting, held every two years as a Biennale, seeks to bring new artistic format closer to the public through the use of unusual spaces and artistic processes created in collaboration with the community. 'Prototipoak' will include several artists and projects, which from the site specific, from the adaptation of their work to a proposed context, suggest new experiences for the public.

RURAL AND SPICY

FROM MAY 26, 2016 TO MAY 28, 2016

Site specific performance that the Berlin collective will carry out based on a workshop where they will interpret and transform rural sports in an ironic and cynical interdisciplinary performance full of spicy energy.

Sports received little attention from evolutionary biologists and most probably sport began as a way for men to develop the skills needed in primitive hunting and warfare, then developed to act primarily where athletes shows and male spectators evaluate the qualities of potential allies and rivals.

The sport and the popular games in the Basque country settle very close to the early times daily work on, in those tasks performed by the Basque every day and to in his spare time pleasure or heavy betting between neighbors over their skill at certain working on the farm or in the port are: mow more grass, more trunks chopping of, rowing faster. The reputation of the Basques as "strong men" is measured when lifting large stones in races with weights and the tug of war between two groups. Finally, it is demonstrated that the own animals are strongest or best trained for their task: Stones towing with oxen, struggles of rams, and competitions for sheep dogs.

This is the base for TEN PEN CHii ART LABOR. A transformation, interpretation and metamorphose of this serious rural sports in to a light, ironic and cynical interdisciplinary contemporary performance, with hot spicy energy.
