Two mischievous galtzagorris, MariJuri and JuriMari, guide audiences on a journey from a stable in Bethlehem to a Basque town square on Christmas Eve while working to stop Gizotz from ending Christmas. The production features live music, choirs, theater, ballet, Basque dances, and humor brought to life by 170 performers on stage. Audience members are encouraged to bring their letters in case Olentzero makes an appearance.
