Project description

In the past, the first Basques said that men descended from bears. Today, there are no native bears left in Euskal Herria; the last one was shot over a century ago. The person who pulled the trigger didn’t know that, with the bear, the Beasts, Lamias, and Basajaun would vanish as well. We drove them out with blows and condemned them to tales and stories; we banished them like last season’s garments and relegated them to the archives. But nothing truly wild dies—it only transforms. Now they return, wrapped in hide, wool, and ancient symbols. They come to reclaim their land, their place. Soon, we will hear their roars again.
