Euskara. Kultura. Mundura.
The Maitaldia dance festival, which runs from 5 to 15 September in Biarritz, will have its own programme of dance companies from the Basque Country in the festival’s "Les compagnies du territoire" section.
As part of the ´Ça colle au basque´ initiative and in collaboration with the Etxepare Basque Institute, eight Basque companies will perform at the Maitaldia dance festival. These include Malandain Biarritz, Kukai Dantza, Bilaka Kolektiboa, Mizel Théret & Beñat Achiary, Dantzaz, Compagnie Á Pas Furtifs, Cie Project ra.re / Collectif Rabbit Research, and AltxaLili Show. In addition to these performances, the festival will host a professional meeting on 6 and 7 September.
Based in Biarritz, Maitaldia has become a leading event and a benchmark in its field over the past 35 years, attracting numerous event programmers from France and abroad every year. This provides an opportunity for Basque companies to showcase their offerings on an international stage.
