The Magic Pumpkin
The most representative heroes and characters from the traditional tales and legends of the Basque Country, guided by the word. A one-eyed 'tartalo' who's been up all night is swindled by a man because he's got the miracle ring he talks about. A naughty little Kukubiltxo makes the cows and burros talk when he hides in the ear of a donkey. A lying demonic Galtzagorri is unashamed. In short, universal myths from the stages of today and yesterday in the Basque Country.
