Haize Lerroak, documents the vertical dance choreographies completed by Janire Etxabe in the most significant mountains and forests of the Basque Country over the course of 4 years. “Can a dream, perchance a feeling change the landscape?

In our house, in the mountains, flying, suspended from the rope, in the constant search for an undefined feeling”.
