Photography Beñat BidegainErrotzen is a journey through the emotions, which invites the spectator to transform their gaze, while at the same time trying to fill our cities with colour and movement, giving life to empty walls and transforming them into a vertical stage.
Returning to the essential, there where the body vibrates, the eyes observe and the senses awaken. This piece reflects the fierce rhythm of life which converts us into prisoners of haste and slaves to technology. We’re looking for a break in order to reflect and reacquaint ourselves with all our sensations, through a dance which is experienced, felt and shared.
We invite you to detach yourself, if only for a moment, from that virtual world. “Today could be a great day to let our emotions free, to communicate with one another again, to discover our gaze. Let’s not let the screens checkmate the times of LOVE”.
Liliana González.

Photography Beñat BidegainZinbulu Kolektiboa is a vertical dance association which is currently made up of 6 dancers with different experiences and disciplines. We have all worked on different pioneering projects in vertical dance in the Basque Country, both as creators and performers.
We have taken part in different festivals of the performing street arts such as: Beste Bat! Zuzeneko Arteen Zirkuitua in Berriz (2021), Pedra Viva Festival in Menorca (2020), Umore Azoka in Leioa (2016, 2019, 2021), Chalons dans la Rue in France (2016), Imaginarius Festival in Portugal (2017), Kaleka in Lekeitio (2017), etc.
In 2019, we participated in creating the short film about vertical dance titled "Harria Herria", which was shown at the Mendi Film Bilbao mountain film festival and, as a result of this work, we developed a live performance in collaboration with the music group Oreka Tx. This show was premiered at the 2020 Pedra Viva Festival in Menorca.
Currently, Zinbulu finds itself in process of research and renovation, and it has just premiered its new street performance, “Errotzen”, at the 2021 Umore Azoka Fair.
