In Performance: ‘Pistilos de una fuente’

Join us on 14 September at the North Galleries on Illa del Rei for a live performance of ‘Pistilos de una fuente’ by Elena Aitzkoa. In this presentation, Aitzkoa will explore the interplay between body, space, and matter in dialogue with the sculptures of Eduardo Chillida. Through voice, poetry, song, and movement, the artist aims to forge a profound connection with the sculptor’s work.

Elena Aitzkoa is currently participating in the exhibition ‘Topalekuak’ at Tabakalera, where a selection of artists have created new works that engage with the organic, holistic and contemporary aspects of Chillida’s legacy.

The performance, developed in collaboration with Tabakalera San Sebastián as part of the centenary celebrations, is free to attend and will last 45 minutes.

You can book your spot and your shuttle boat ticket here.
