IKIMILIKILIKLIK

“Txirristi mirristi, gerrena plat, olio zopa, kikili salda, urrup, edan edo klik, ikimilikiliklik”...
...The Basque singer-songwriter Mikel Laboa sang in the seventies and eighties, and we all imagined a witch reciting her spell while she prepares the miraculous potion. In fact, the protagonist of Marie de Jongh's new project is a girl who feared witches in her childhood, but ends up becoming one of them. She is not the only protagonist, she is also the word. For the first time, Marie de Jongh presents a non-gestural show, where the word is an inescapable dramatic element. We have done it by abiding by one of our main laws: choosing the best way to get what we want to tell the viewer. And what do we want to share? We want to share a reflection on fear, its castrating character, its relentless power over our decisions; but also that uncomfortable part of ourselves that defines us and with whom we must live.
SYNOPSIS: When Martírio was little, she was scared for multiple reasons, but there were two, in particular, that caused her heartbreaking fear: seeing someone unprotected and witches, those lonely and evil women who live in old shacks on top of the mountain. .Martírio, wanting to protect his beloved little spider, was overcoming a lot of fears. This is what Martírio herself tells us, who, as an adult, has become…a “witch”

A story of witches without witches
a story of brave without brave
a magical story without wizards
a story of children who are not so children
and some older ones who are not so much...
