The successful Grec Festival is coming to an end…

There is still time though to enjoy the polymorphic Grec Festival of Barcelona. It started the last days of June and continues until the first days of August. It’s a festival that offers music, dance and theatre.

More than 60 performances have and will be shown at the Grec Festival. This festival is very varied covering a wide range of the most interesting performances at the moment. The ‘Italian Panorama’ was seen by more than 16.000 spectators and music groups like Troba Kung Fu were sold out.

But don´t worry, there is still time to go to the Grec Festival. This week you can see shows like ‘La ruta blava’, an adaptation of The Blue Route with dramaturgy by Pablo Ley. This adaptation takes you for a long journey with Josep Maria de Sagarra, one of the most outstanding writers in Catalan literature, and a group of strange characters who, together, represent old Europe soon to be plunged into the Second World War.
You can also go to see other theatre plays like The Ilíada by Alessandro Baricco based on the classical The Iliad by Homer. Barcelonan spectators will see the version of the Canadian theatre director Tom Bentley-Fisher in which the leading characters are neither violent warriors nor kings or gods and they are all played by women. These women, who live on either side of the war, seek to understand the conflict clearly, independently of whether they are Achaean or Trojan. They try to understand the reasons for it, throwing off their role as victims to find solutions. An ancient war that is repeated throughout history.
