A Bow Between History and Narrative
The stones of the monuments are not only witnessing physical history, but also stories that have been transmitted from generation to generation. This year, the Interview Festival proposes to explore this fascinating link between oral narrative and material heritage, coinciding with the celebration of International Day of Monuments and Historical Places.
A Cultural Itinerary through Catalonia
From April 17 to April 20, various emblematic spaces in Catalonia, such as the Palau Moja de Barcelona and the Monastery Castle of Escornalbou, will host shows that integrate oral narration with various artistic forms. The proposal includes events in the canonical of Santa Maria de Vilabertran and the convent of Sant Bartomeu de Bellpuig, which represent the four directions of the country.
Festival inauguration: a leap to the past
The first day will begin at seven in the afternoon with ‘El Salto del Ciervo’, a creation by the choreographer Inés Boza. After a break of almost ten years, Boza returns to the stage with a work that reflects on his career and the new generations of dancers, fusing dance, audiovisual and music by Edurne Arizu.
Love and tragedy in a concert
On Friday, Jordina Biosca, accompanied by guitarist David Garcia Aparicio, will present ‘Love and death concert’. With a touch of humor and a deep exploration of emotions, this show promises a fusion of poetic epopeies that reflect the opponents of love and death.
Imperfect families and musical humor
On Saturday, narrator Eva Andújar will take attendees to a journey through the story of a ‘almost’ perfect family with a recital that incorporates swing elements. With the support of the pianist Ricardo Belda, the show promises moments of humor and excitement.
A poetic clown to close the festival
On Sunday, actor Oswaldo Felipe will combine his clown and juggling skills in a show that promises a rich poetic selection, including works by great authors and his own writings. Felipe, a veteran of La PAI theater company, will offer a contemporary vision of the minstrel.
Access and inclusivity
All festival shows are free, but it is necessary to make a previous reservation. In addition, most of the actions, except the inaugural, will offer Catalan sign language interpretation, guaranteeing accessibility to a wide and diverse audience.
A future full of narratives
Interview not only celebrates the cultural heritage of Catalonia, but also opens a dialogue between the past and the present. In a world that changes rapidly, the importance of keeping the oral tradition alive and the stories that define us becomes more relevant than ever.
