Nor naizen baneki, theatre, at Kurtzio Kultur Etxea, Sopela

Kurtzio Kultur Etxea

On Wednesday 2 December 2026 at 19:00 the Kurtzio Kultur Etxea in Sopela, near Bilbao, presents Nor naizen baneki, a play by the company Artedrama. The listing opens with questions: I wish I knew who I am, do you know it, would you like to know, aren't you afraid of regretting it later? Is it healthy to observe ourselves from every angle, or do we need a blind spot? How do you know that you are really who you say you are, in the reflection of your parents, of your children, by reading the traces you leave behind? And what if theatre were the best way to set off an introspective archaeology? The text is by Harkaitz Cano and Ximun Fuchs, and Fuchs directs a cast of seven: Ramon Agirre, Garoa Bugallo, Maialen Diaz, Aline Etxeberri, Manex Fuchs, Idoia Tapia and Oier Zuñiga. The page gives the language as Basque. The ticket costs 4 euros. A reflective play is an easy evening alone. «¿Y si fuese el teatro la mejor forma de desencadenar una arqueología introspectiva?» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Bertso Saioa: Improvised Basque Verse with Lujanbio

Kurtzio Kultur Etxea

A bertso saioa is the Basque art of sung improvised poetry: champion bertsolari Maialen Lujanbio, Aitor Etxebarriazarraga and Jon Maia improvise verses on the spot, joined by musician Paule Loizaga. Tickets are listed at €3. It is in Basque and a uniquely local experience that audiences love to discuss afterwards.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
