The Escena Poblenou festival reaches its 25th edition and, to celebrate, will fill the streets and venues of the neighborhood with 19 proposals of theater, dance, circus, performance, and music.
The event consolidates its support for independent creation through three calls aimed at embryonic projects, community shows, and pieces led by women. Among this year's premieres are Tros by Cia. Sputniks, Nacionalitat espanyola by Maria Solà, El Banquet de Te Negre by Maisa Sally-Anna Perk, and Imagiro by Ambae.
The quarter-century celebration will have its peak on Saturday, October 24 at the Centre Moral i Cultural del Poblenou with a big party in cabaret format, where companies such as Hermanas Picohueso, Llum de Fideu, Hotel iocandi, or Comando Señoras will participate.
In addition, the anniversary will be immortalized in the book L'escena que crema, a project coordinated by critic Oriol Puig Taulé and co-edited with Arola Editors and Recomana to review the history of this reference festival.
