At dusk, following a heated argument between a couple on Gulpiyuri Beach, a ghost named Analphabet appears over the sea to tell his story and sing songs to the couple.

Analphabet is the invention of a myth: that of a romantic spirit who manifests to couples in natural settings and who lives imprisoned in the wound of the flesh; his appearance highlights the chasm we call “lovers” and the mistreatment to which we subject ourselves within that structure of love. His personal story opens the box of intragender violence and exposes the need to also exercise extreme care in gay relationships shaped by patriarchal heritage. As a tormented spirit, it draws from the poetry of German Romanticism and its landscapes (Goethe, Hölderlin, and Novalis inspired this writing), but also draws on Andalusian idiosyncrasies and the mortal wound of a love in the Basque Country. The ghost, though arriving dying and wounded on a horse, brings with him a hope: what poetry can do for the wound. 

The presentation of Analphabet at TBA was scheduled for September 2025, as part of BoCA – Biennial of Contemporary Arts.
