Photography Nagore LegarretaWhen was it that we stopped being children? Did we ever do it? Will we ever do it? NUNAVUT is the place we once went, where time remains frozen, where glaciers last forever. That’s where we learnt to swing from the trees, in expanses where trees do not grow. That’s where we were embraced by the monster. That’s where we were free, our hair all entangled. Will we ever manage, now and again, to recover the way back from oblivion…?
NUNAVUT mans “our strength” or “our land” in the language of the Inuit. It’s an attempt to construct a utopian site in which love, monsters and play thrive. Landscapes which suggest a dreamlike universe, in which time stands still, and one only need watch and listen. Then, everything else happens...
A hybrid scenic proposal that, starting from storytelling, combines contemporary dance, sound art, physical theater and plastic arts.

Photography Nagore LegarretaAfter several years developing choreographic works, Myriam Perez Cazabon decided to constitute her work under the name NERI(H)ARI, in which to make room for diverse interdisciplinary projects collaborating with other arts such as music, film and theatre. She defines her work as defined contemporary dance; that is, clear, transparent and precise. And interdisciplinary, fostering its value for communication and transmission. It is here where silence is understood as a means of communication and quietude as a form of movement, emphasising, above all, presence and gaze.
The need to explore more deeply through its own choreographic language kickstarted its beginning as a company in 2016, thanks to a grant from the Basque Government and the support and collaboration of Dantzagunea (Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa) and Donostia Kultura (Gazteszena – C.C. Egia). As part of this trajectory, there were premieres of the pieces NERE AZALEAN ARROTZ (2017. A work recommended by the Theatre Circuit of the Basque Country, SAREA), MUTU (2018. A work recommended by the Theatre Circuit of the Basque Country, SAREA), ICEBERG (2019) and HIRU(3) (2021).
Myriam Perez Cazabon began her career as a creator beforehand, in 2004, with the piece “NOSOTRAS Y LA PIEZA” together with Nerea Urbieta and Marta Ortega, and since then she has combined the field of creation with that of teaching/transmission and that of performing. Then came “TENTATIVA DE AGOTAR UN LUGAR PARISINO” (2006) and “EJERCICIONÚMERO2” (2007), pieces created in collaboration with the filmmaker Victor Iriarte and the musician Maite Arroitajauregi, and “PERMANENT VACATION.VERSIÓN” (2007), with the multidisciplinary artist Larraitz Torres.
She is presently immersed in new production: CCnº40.
