The actress and director Itziar Lazkano Setién, also an illustrious Bilbao, has been chosen Pregonera de Aste Nagusia 2022 and Iratxe Palacios Gana, from the Tintigorri comparsa, will be this year’s txupinera, as reported by the Bilbao City Council.
Itziar Lazkano and Iratxe Palacios, who will accompany Marijaia on her festive journey, become part of the history of great festive representatives of the Villa’s biggest festival.
Itziar Lazkano has been chosen by the Bilbao Festival Mixed Commission to read the long-awaited proclamation on the balcony of the Arriaga Theater on Saturday, August 20. The actress and director, also an illustrious Bilbao, has been chosen as herald for “her career and her contribution to the dissemination of culture and the performing arts in and from Bilbao”.
Born in Portugalete in 1957, she is an artist “hardened in the theater, not in vain has she toured the entire State with her shows and has received numerous distinctions both as an actress and as a director”, the Consistory highlighted.
For her part, this year’s Txupinera, who will be in charge of launching the txupin that will kick off Aste Nagusia 2022, is a comparsera from Tintigorri, which is the comparsa that, by lottery, has been designated this year as a txupinera. Born in Bilbao in 1986 and a resident of Txurdinaga, Iratxe works as a clerk and waitress.
“As well as being a dickhead, Iratxe is a gravy boat who likes to appear in movies or on television as an extra. An inveterate lover of Aste Nagusia, she also likes cats and escapes to the mountains whenever she can”, they have pointed out from Bilboko Konpartsak.
