Beti bezperako koplak

Building on the celebration of St. Agatha’s Eve —a deep-rooted Basque tradition in which people walk from house to house, accompanied by improvised verse-makers (bertsolaris) in a festive atmosphere, singing verses to the beating of long sticks—, bertsolari Maialen Lujanbio offers a stark denunciation of gender violence. In verse after verse, she condemns the different manifestations of sexist violence and our inability to combat it.
