Description

We are celebrating the fifth edition of Viu Montjuïc, the weekend full of cultural activities and nature organised by Barcelona City Hall in conjunction with UNLOCK THE CITY!, the Creative Europe project that concludes this autumn.

On Sunday 05 October, the artist Alexandra Laudo , with the collaboration of also creator Anna Puigjaner, will commission the action Apagada, a poetic and political claim on the darkness inspired by the blackouts by artist Tres, on the occasion of the 9th anniversary of his death. This action will close a festive day that will take place at the Teatre Lliure in the framework of Viu Montjuïc,.

The celebration is structured in two parts. The first, Massa Mare Fronteres, comes from the Fundació Mescladís and the community action entities of the Poble-sec neighborhood, and is a festive show in Plaça Margarida Xirgu that will end inside the theater. And the second, Apagada, is an action inspired by the blackouts of the artist Tres, who was specialized in research on silence. A poetic and political act of symbolic vindication of darkness, silence and night. It will be a short but intense action of resistance to the culture of hyperproduction and continuous operability, which will take place in the foyer of the theatre.

This show is part of Unlock The City, a cultural regeneration project aimed at developing an integrated working method that combines scientific and design-oriented technical research with theatrical practice, making it a tool to trigger sustainable development processes to the post-pandemic city. This project is part of the Europa Creativa.
