Enric Casasses will recite the background noise of today's civilisation without leaving the style of the troubadours.

The proposal will dialogue with the verses of Maria Callís: you will hear some and not others.

Thursdays of voice and word is a meeting place to enjoy a small-format artistic programme that explores the symbiosis between the human voice and language as a primordial vector of articulation of the spoken word, in the relaxed and close environment of the Bar Lounge.

With the participation of Enric Casasses

Enric Casasses is a native of L'Escala, Barcelona, born in 1951, who quickly learned Mallorcan and Valencian, Lleida and Rosellonese, and a little old Catalan, in order to produce a body of poetry in verse and prose that has already produced two dozen volumes and hundreds of public recitals.

Maria Callís is a Geronine from Arbúcies, born in 1983. When she had already been singing "Quan les oques van al camp" for a while, she went to the Sardinian land and learned to conjugate verbs in the Alguerese way; she speaks of the joy this gave her in a poem in La matinada clara. Later he wrote a few more verses: you will hear some of them and some others you will not.

Thursdays of voice and word 2024 builds on the proposals of regularly invited creators: Blanca Llum Vidal, Eduard Olesti, Sònia Moya, Esteve Plantada, Grup Jordi Hurtado, Àrea de Lletres de la Bonne, PEN Català and Sodepau.
