When it seemed like they couldn’t innovate anymore, they go and do it. And it is that the Funes troupewith 36 years of experience behind his back, far from settling in and fulfilling his annual obligations, he has gone one step further and has just published and put on sale a book so that the txikis can color the figures of the municipality, both two giants; White of Navarre and Sancho Garcés IVlike the five big heads; Isidrín, Napoleon, Popeye, Patxirrín and Clown.
Account Cesar Miranda, a member of the local group, who had been thinking about doing something of this style for some time “because they gave us a book in Corella and we really liked the idea; So we have done something similar.”
After Christmas, he insists, they got to work to choose designs and formats and this Thursday afternoon they began to sell the first copies.
According to César, and without revealing too much, the first thing that appears in the copy is a little history of the troupe “so that it is known where we come from and the boys and girls know a little more about both the formation itself and its figures and the restorations to which they have been subjected; the last and of great significance in 2021.” Afterwards, he reiterates, each giant and big-headed man leaves separately; “On the odd pages is the character painted and in pairs, the coloring page, although everyone can let their imagination fly,” he laughs. In addition, there is also an image in which they all appear together.
Those interested in acquiring one of the 300 copies what they have done they can now do; The book costs 5 euros and can be purchased at Florist Petals or Coquettes Funes as well as telling anyone in the troupe. “The truth is that without going on sale there were already many people telling us to reserve one for them, so it is possible that we will have to do more.”
This bet “is one more step, a way of create hobby and quarry so that, in addition to the rubber giants, they can keep these figures in mind even out of season.”
With 8 components currentlythe local group is looking for new blood and, for now, they will be present at the concentrations of Noáin and Orkoien on June 8 and 22 respectively. Furthermore, and the next challenge they set for themselves is to “achieve one or two medium-sized figures so that the txikis who now bring out the big heads start dancing them. It is a way for the jump not to be so big.”
