Vicent Andrés Estellés: the poet of the body

Scene + Music

Free

Now in its tenth year, Barribrossa presents a trilogy of shows with the title Vicent Andrés Esteller: el poeta del cos, with the aim of keeping alive the flame of the Valencian poet, 20 years after his death.

18.00h Presentation by Albert Roig and Laura Borràs

18.30h COS (Body) by Vicent Andrés Estellés

In the late sixties and early seventies, Vicent Andrés Estellés and Blai Bonet forged a dual trail in Catalan poetry: both were committed to orality and pushing back the borders of the literary language of Noucentisme, using the Catalan of Valencia and Majorca, and colloquialisms. Further, they were both passionate (and therefore hyperbolic) poets who spoke of love and desire in a direct way that was new to Catalan poetry, without moralistic or idealising veils.

Dramaturgy: Albert Roig. Direction: Hèctor Mora, Albert Roig and Valeria Villar

Actors: Xavier Alomà, Marc Andurell, Clàudia Benito, Anna Berenguer, Lara Correa, Toni Guillemat, Laura Gutiérrez, Bàrbara Nicolau, Marina Mulet, Jèssica Pérez and Josep Ramon Roig

19.45 Oratori per Marilyn Monroe (Oratory for Marilyn Monroe) by Vicent Andrés Estellés

This show is based on the poem that Estellés dedicated to Marilyn Monroe and the myth of Phaedra. It aims to present and promote the poet as a dramatist, his less known and least valued side.

Dramaturgy: Albert Roig Direction: Marc Chornet Artells Space design: Joan Fortuny Actors: Anna Berenguer, Neus Pàmies and Arnau Puig

20:15 Hotel París by Vicent Andrés Estellés

Hotel París was written in the 1950s in the hotel of the same name on the Rambla that exudes the world of Estellés, summarising his poetry. This show is a staging of his poetic work, with a musical accompaniment created and composed for the occasion.

Recited by Andreu Subirats and Eduard Carmona with musical accompaniment by Diego Burian ans Roger Blavia. Idea and management: Isabel Olesti.
