SATURRARAN

Music of Juan Carlos Pérez and Text of Kirmen Uribe

A tribute to the lost generation that taught us to be free.

20 to 22 june 2024

According to legend, the two large rocks on Saturraran beach are two lovers. Society did not allow them to love each other, and the lovers drowned in the water. Subsequently, two large rocks emerged from the sea, in their memory.

Saturraran is the story of two women who cannot love each other. In the 1980s, Ane, the daughter of a deep-sea fisherman, and Luna, an Andalusian who arrived in a van, fall in love with each other. Trapped in the whirlwind of heroin and feeling the rejection of the neighbors, they decide to take refuge in the ruins of the Saturraran prison. José, Ane’s widowed father, will try to help them. The difficulty of accepting what is different, the onslaught of heroin and AIDS, the decline of the fishing world… Saturraran is a tribute to the lost generation that taught us to be free.
