The Ispilu(h)ari cycle, a highlight of Deba's cultural agenda, will continue throughout April and May, ensuring a varied offering for all ages in response to citizen demand.

This initiative, which emerged through Deba's participatory budgets, was launched with the aim of guaranteeing a continuous and diverse cultural offering throughout the year. The program will kick off on April 18 with a performance by artist Imanol Epelde and will continue the following day, April 19, with the children's show “Kay Robot”. Later, on May 9, attendees can enjoy a musical performance by Maider Cigarroa, and on May 10, the puppet show “Txan Fantasma”.
The programming is divided into two main sections: one reserved for those over 12 years old, featuring contemporary formats and music as its core; and another with proposals designed for families, aimed at children under that age. All four performances will take place in the Hall of Mirrors of Agirre Palace.
Imanol Epelde will mark the start of the program on April 18, at 6:00 PM, with the performance “Zerbait sartu zait begian”. This show combines formats such as spoken word, electronic music, and images, serving as a basis for addressing current issues with humor and an invitation to reflection. Topics to be explored include the pace of life, disconnection from nature, the constant search for happiness, and masculinity.
Labortan artist Maider Cigarroa, a member of groups like Haizean and Hiru Soinu, will present a musical repertoire based on pop sounds on May 9 in the Hall of Mirrors, in an event aimed at spectators over 12 years old.
The youngest audience members will also have their place in the Ispilu(h)ari initiative. On April 19, starting at 5:30 PM, Ameztu Antzerkia's puppet show “Kay Robot” (recommended for ages 6 and up) will be presented. This production humorously explores the relationship between humans and technology through a story about a machine rebellion. On May 10, the Pantzart company will offer “Txan fantasma” (recommended for ages 5 and up), which tells the story of Karmentxu, a girl who creates her own unique universe with her overflowing imagination, addressing themes such as lack of affection, imaginary friends, and the integration of children labeled as “different”.
