📖 The piece

The starting point: when an artist's legacy becomes a souvenir, their drama becomes a game. "Bolas de sangre", "Yerma la Nuit", "Así que pasen 5 euros" and a Don Perlimplín table football make up a critical, playful and poetic installation.

Some machines give a small gift for €1 or €3; the others are free to play.

🎪 Festival IF 2026 at La Brossa

This is the third year of the partnership between La Brossa and IF Barcelona's Festival IF, devoted to visual, object and puppet theatre. It runs from 5 to 29 November, this time built around words losing their meaning.

🏛️ La Brossa, Centre de les Arts Lliures

The Fundació Joan Brossa is housed in La Seca, Barcelona's old royal mint in El Born, and is Barcelona's home for the 'free arts': visual theatre, object poetry, magic, performance and live arts, in the spirit of the poet it is named after. It runs exhibitions, shows and activities all season long.

ℹ️ Good to know: In Spanish. Visits with the artist on Saturday 21 November (12 noon, 1.30 and 6 pm) and Sunday 22 (12 noon and 1.30 pm). Closed on Mondays.

✨ Lorca as you have never played him.
