Give me a theme and I’ll write you a poem
Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 July 2024, 6:30 - 8pm. Ground floor
An encounter with Nuria Herrera, the poet who improvises poems on her typewriter. The spectator tells her what the poem should be about, and she writes it and reads it out loud.
An individual activity: 5 to 10 minutes per person.
You can know everything just by hearing it
Thursday 11 July 2024, 6:30 - 8pm. Lobby of the Juan March Foundation Library
A round table on words in the Spanish Golden Age and how the stanzaic and rhythmic richness of the Spanish verses of that age was the result of a cultural and sociological cross-fertilisation that has not always been properly appreciated. To understand the Spanish Golden Age and the stage as a space shared by the three Hispanic cultures of the time and the influences flowing in from Europe and America, and as an egalitarian and democratic space in a classist society. Moderated and animated by Alexis Díaz Pimienta, a Cuban decima poet and expert in verse and improvisation.
The flavour of words
Friday 12 and Sunday 14 July 2024, 6:30 - 8pm. Café de la March
Listen to texts and songs about wine, bread, coffee, the flavour and the pleasure of taste... perhaps while you enjoy a glass of wine, or a coffee and a piece of cake. The actors may combine the tasting and sound experience with the texts. With Rita Barber.
Human Library
Friday 12 and Saturday 13 July and 2024, 6:30 - 8pm. Ground floor
The Human Library is a global project based on the experiences of persons/books or persons/testimonies who tell their own story aloud: a way to give visibility to stigmatised groups (migrants, the prison population, drug addicts, people with disabilities, members of the LGTBI+ community). The spectator listens to the story told by the person/book in a journey that will help to break down the prejudices that surround these groups. Activity coordinated by Juan Sobrino, an activist and populariser of reading and a librarian at the Soto del Real Municipal Library.
Learn to think and speak the verse
Friday 12 and Saturday 13 July 2024, 6:30 - 8pm. Auditorium entrance hall - mezzanine
Individual work sessions on a text (Segismundo’s monologue from Life is a Dream or Don Mendo’s Revenge) so that the spectator can learn to speak and convey the ideas in the text. These or other texts that the spectators learn, may also be transmitted to other spectators in a kind of chain of transmission of these spoken and happy words. With Pepa Pedroche, Joaquín Notario and Ernesto Arias.
