Com l’estel que no hi és

After meeting in a commission to music and recite a series of poems awarded at the Jocs Florals of Barcelona 2021, Berta Giraut and Mireia Tejero decide to take advantage of the chemistry between the two creating Paelleta flou, a performance that gives musical and scenic form to the book of poems Com l’estel that is not written by Berta Giraut herself and published in March 2020, in full confinement.

Festival Alcools, poetry on stage

Poetry is everything and it’s nothing. It’s a flower in a closed garden, a spit on the road, a sweet childhood memory, a knock on the table, a scream and a silence. And the Festival Alcools, since it was born in 2015, thanks to the impulse of the longed Hermann Bonnín and under the inspiration of Apollinaire, seeks to stage contemporary poetry with the help of the friends of poets, musicians, performers, artists, philosophers, and everyone who thinks that, today, the word has value.

There will be crises, wars, potholes, altercations, but there will always be a poet who, in the midst of chaos, will raise his voice to exclaim, like Sylvia Plath, who is possessed by a cry. ALCOOLS wants to be the shelter of words, of those who say and those who listen, a ceremony unique in times, as always, uncertain.
