Although we often hear the roar of the sea, we have rarely paid attention to the silence that remained on land: that of the women who sustained the town, the family, and life itself. From this context, Lolak Kolektiboa was born, an initiative created this year by actresses Esti Curiel, Amaia Ruiz de Galarreta, and Irene Hernando. Their first fruit, the play Zanbuila, will arrive at Muxikebarri in Getxo this Friday at 8:00 PM.

The seed of the project was planted by Esti Curiel herself, who began collecting testimonies from women in Zumaia. The creator was fascinated by the strength of those women who, with their husbands at sea, managed the town and home on their own. The main goal of this work is to "give value" to those experiences that history has left in the shadows.

Zanbuila is not just a play that looks to the past; it builds bridges with contemporary society. The piece presents a paradox: the physical solitude of yesteryear versus today's "digital solitude." Curiel reflects deeply on this topic, highlighting the difference between digital connectivity and personal relationships.

Despite addressing profound themes such as family, existential crises, or loss, the collective has used humor as a vehicle. This natural humor, born from the relationship between the three actresses, gives a therapeutic nuance to the performance, offering the audience reflection and catharsis in an enjoyable way.

In Getxo, being a coastal town, Friday's performance will have a special meaning. Curiel has emphasized that the play is "very visual," making it an excellent opportunity for those learning Euskera or wishing to approach the language. Furthermore, tickets are priced at just 8 euros and can be purchased on the Getxo Kultura website.

Ultimately, Zanbuila is not just a play; it is a call. The goal is that, upon leaving the auditorium, the audience feels the urge to call a friend or family member, simply to ask "how are you?". An invitation to keep those connections alive, like those that women once kindled on the coast.
