According to an ancient proverb, “every dress has its reverse side”.  Based on this, Bernardo Atxaga explains the origin of his texts, the underbelly of his novels and poems, in this documentary.  Topics include: a passage from the life of so-called “enfant sauvage” Victor de l'Aveyron, an old photograph of the school at Asteasu and its message, the prevalent mood in Bilbao around 1970 and the influence it had on writers of the period, the literary consecuences of a man's insipid illness.  Juanfe Garces uses images to illuminate these different topics.

A series arranged by the Etxepare Basque Institute

The series is accompanied by the exhibition "Atxaga en las artes" [Atxaga In Art] at Archivo Documenta.  Tuesday through Saturday and Saturday through Sunday, from 5pm till 9pm.  Fridays from 6pm till 10pm.  Closed Mondays and throughout the Holy Week holidays.
