Festival principal

The Assemblea d’Artistes d’Utopia Rambles wants to revive the love between the Ramblas and the Theater. The Festival has been organized and curated together with Arnau Itinerant, which for years has been reviving the same flirtation that theater has with the Paral·lel, in a story of class struggle, love, masks, and historical memory.

We call for the Festival Principal (Main Festival). We take the name of the city's first theater, now closed and waiting for its reopening not to be a betrayal of love or a cohabitation marriage. We take the neighbors who do theater to the streets. We recover the carnival, performative, and combative Ramblas. We have a party, that is, an act of love.

Schedule:

11am El Sol d'Ocanha: Opening and tribute to Ocanha

An initiative by Utopia Rambles 

With the collaboration of Teatre Arnau Itinerant

What you see in Arnau, you won't see anywhere else. Our will to transform the neighborhood's theatrical space, with the neighborhood, drives us. We generate a grassroots popular culture, networked with local organizations. We don't count full seats because we don't believe culture should be an economic resource. We work on theatrical proposals where working conditions for professionals are fair and equal. This is our rebellion and our achievement.
