Identity (Philosophical concept) - Summary:
- Bueltaxka applauds the road, inviting us to the now. It is the exaltation of friendship.
How often have you felt you want something you do not have? How often have you gone round and round in circles looking for “that something” you need? The eternal human problem of dissatisfaction, in the belief our life would only be complete if…
Today this search is constant and insatiable, as we never feel we have reached a place that is worth. Therefore, we continue going round in circles. We think that by achieving a specific thing our life will be settled forever. Yet, to tell the truth, that never happens, since life is never truly “resolved” for we are always on the way.
Bueltaxka forces the audience to pause, stop going round in circles, and give up the search. It reminds us there is nothing more out there, because that is it, it is all it ever was. However, “this” is worth it.
Osa+Mujika’s latest work is a 15 minute piece that tells the story of two friends (Jaiotz Osa & Rafke Van Houplines) who manage to find joy in being together, knowing that by moving forward together and abandoning dissatisfaction and constant searching, failure will never exist.
