I imagine that it's simply 'h' in Spanish - hac in Catalan. I'm not sure of the etymology but will have a look.

Performance con atxe

Explanation:
Could this be the name of a club? If so, I'd leave it as it is.

It could be that Atxe was the former name of the club and it is now called Performance con atxe.
