La Marea, a play performed in the street
Carrer Nou, Girona. 7, 8 and 9 November, 9 pm
Organised by: El Canal. Girona/Salt Scenic Arts Centre
Author and director: Mariano Pensotti
Dramaturgy (translation and adaptation): Carles Mallol
Production: EL CANAL. Girona/Salt Scenic Arts Centre
As if swept along by a tide that seeps into all the different stories co-existing cheek by jowl on a street in the city, Argentinean director Mariano Pensotti sets up nine situations along Carrer Nou in Girona, some of which happen outside on the street while others take place in interiors visible from outside: a couple having supper, a man waiting for somebody, a motorbike accident, a bar, a couple's first kiss, a party ... everyday moments trapped before the public eye. A subtitle system gives the audience access to these people's thoughts, to their personal stories and their past lives, and even to what the future holds in store for them. The nine situations are acted out simultaneously on either side of the street, and spectators can cross over from one side to the other, in whichever order they want, following the flow of the stories. This is open-air theatre, open to all comers. We would recommend you to wrap up warmly and be there at 9 pm sharp.

Bòlit. Girona Contemporary Art Centre stand
Organised by: Casa de Cultura de la Diputació de Girona.
Giroscopi Culture Fair is a showcase of cultural initiatives in Girona province, organized by the Casa de Cultura in Girona. The event is billed as a large shop window for the Girona cultural sector; a space in which to make oneself known, to establish links for future collaborations and to further one's knowledge; a space where synergies can happen between cultural agents (public institutions, non-profit making organizations and private enterprise), whether they are present as stand-holders, activity programmers or visitors; a space that sets itself out to be an observatory of the cultural sector. Members of the public can visit the fair to see for themselves what is being done in the field of culture and to enjoy a place of entertainment and knowledge.
