By anthropologist, journalist and dancer Oier Araolaza Arrieta (in Basque with simultaneous translation into French).
Organized by the Ville d'Hendaye and Eusko Ikaskuntza.
Over the last few years, Olentzero has gone from being a drunken, pot-bellied coalman who came down from the mountains to being as elegant as a bank manager.
Today, Olentzero appears with a clean face, tidy clothes and a shaved beard, with Mari Domingi at his side.
It's hard to recognize the forester who used to carry coal in his sack.
He looks more like a salesman charging expensive purchases by credit card. It's said that past experiences teach us how to react in the future, and to decide which Olentzero we want, we'll go back to the origins to learn about the winter solstice, the tree trunks burned in the fire...
