This cycle –aimed at both family and adult audiences– will start with a regular group of this circuit. Pánico Escénico, made up of Mertxe Hernández and Arantxa López de Letona, will present their new work ‘I give faith’, at the Arriaga Civic Center on the 26th of this month. It is the starting signal for a program that will resume in March with a trio of proposals in which theater and dance take center stage with references to classics.
