📖 Sound actions and poetic dialogue

This cycle explores the voice as living matter and the word as a realm of construction and transformation. Through hybrid practices blending performance, music, dance, orality, electronics, and poetry, the invited voices transform the gap between the intimate and the collective into a space of active, poetic presence.

The program includes sessions with Enric Casasses, Carles Congost, Ikram Bouloum, Xumo Nunjo with Ihosvanny Cisneros, Vignesh Melwani with Carla Motis, Claudia Pagès, María José Arjona, and Rocío.

🏛️ The cycle and Tàpies' universe

The project builds a bridge that tensions, reinterprets, and projects oral memory forward, connecting tradition and modernity with Antoni Tàpies' material and symbolic universe. Here, the chair shifts beyond furniture into a setting for listening, confrontation, transmission, and resistance.

✨ An unmissable encounter between the poetry of the live voice and the museum's material memory.
