2013. February.
This last two months we´ve been collaborating with the company Le Petit theatre de Pain in Pau, France. We´ve built 18 natural-size maniquies and two puppets. It´s been a intense and amazing experience. Some pictures here...
A brief story of the company
Dejabu panpin
laborategia began it´s path one evening in 2001, when Ainara Gurrutxaga and
Urko Redondo (that´s us!) decided that we wanted to make theatre that we enjoy, combining things
we like, puppetry, physical theatre and anything else that takes our fancy!
There are other lovely people that make up what we are and what we do, they are
writers, musicians, painters, costume designers, performers...
We started creating works for children like How beautiful is Panama or Riiru
xol, in which we discovered different puppet- techniques like bunraku, marionettes
or shadows. In 2005, wanting to deepen the study of the performing arts we decided
to go overseas. We landed in London. We studied physical theatre and puppetry
there. From that time are the experimental
works Ikara and Wait.
Two years
later, back at home, we felt the need to create a theatre in which puppets and
actors will share the stage. From that curiosity born the play Covek nije optical-Man is not bird, the
work that has received numerous awards in it´s career: Best performance at ACT
festival in Bilbao (2008), best director in Prague Puppet Festival (2009) and the award
for best actress in Subotica theatre festival in Serbia (2010).
In 2010 we created the work for children Azken Portua-The last port mixing
puppet, alive music and acting. At the same time we presented Errautsak along with two other Basque
companies. The play received the Donostia Saria Award in 2011.
Our newest
show is Gure bide galduak (2011), collectively
devised theatre piece based on the recent history in the Basque Country. It´s
been awarded with the Donostia Saria 2012 and it has been published by
Artezblai editions.
At the same
time the company has collaborated with other Basque companies in the last years
as director assistants, actors or puppet makers. We worked with Antzerkiola
Imaginarioa, Tanttaka, Gar produkzioak, Metrokoadroka, Huts teatroa, Anakrusa
dance-theatre company, Rouge Elea, Ttak.
Meanwhile
the company has been receiving workshops from other creators as Philippe Genty
company at (London School of Speech and Drama, 2009), with Stephen Motran
(London , 2008), Javier Swedski (Theatre Organic, Paris 2010) or Espe Lopez
from Legaleón-T (Taller Legaleon Irun 2010).
