Pastoral Simone Veil

The Simone Veil Pastoral was performed at Muskildi/Musculdy on July 24 and 31 and August 6. 95 actors from the village of Musculdy (130 inhabitants). Written by Battitte Berrogain and directed by the errejent Maite Davant, the choirs under the baton of Sophie Landaburru. La pastorale souletine is an outdoor theater piece entirely in the Basque language and more particularly in souletin. Heir to medieval theatres, it was staged by l'errejent, director and guarantor of tradition, and performed by dancers and actors from the same village. The central theme of the pastoral is always the struggle between good and evil, between two groups represented in blue and red. This traditional and contemporary form of theater at the same time moves the crowds of the Basque Country and is considered a major event by the Basque cultural community. At present, it is one of the essential cultural characteristics of Soule. A pastoral is organized each year by a different Souletin village. Rehearsals last from six months to a year. The performances lasted nearly 4 hours. Souletine pastoral has been listed in the Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage in France since 2012.
