    The Barcelona Grec Festival 2010 turns its look to the East

    13/06/2010

    From 13 June to 1 August, the 2010 Barcelona Grec Festival will be offering a total of 65 theatre, dance, music and circus shows in 29 venues located throughout the city. This year it will be notable not just for the productions hailing from Japan but also for the large number of shows featuring Catalan artists.

 

Now in its 34th year, the 2010 Barcelona Grec Festival continues to opt for innovative, quality, newly created and varied shows. This is how Festival Director Ricardo Szwarcer put it when he stated that the aim was "to offer a wide range of shows that appeal to everyone's tastes".
This year the Grec will be opting for the Japanese performing arts, with fifteen productions from Japan. The production, entitled Panorama Japó will enable audiences to enjoy a son et lumière show directed by Rioji Ikeda, in collaboration with the Sonar, and see Joan Ollé's take on the non-modern theatre of Yukio Mishima.
Mention should also be made of "Ki", an initiative from Cesc Gelabert and Frederic Amat (who is in charge of the programme for the 2010 Grec) to mark the centenary of Yamaga city's Kabuki theatre, featuring a Japanese Butoh performer and a contemporary dancer.
National and international artists
Of the 65 shows making up the festival's programme, it will fall to Carme Portacelli's Prometeu to open the event, starring Carme Elias, though the amphitheatre will also be the setting for a mixture of music and poetry with Bolívar, fragmentos de un sueño, Chouf Ouchouf's circus show and several dance and music performances.
As every year, the Grec, being held from 13 June to 1 August at 29 venues located throughout the city, seeks to find a balance between foreign and local offerings and among the various art forms: theatre, dance and music.
The national scene will be represented by Sergi Belbel, Julio Manrique, Oriol Broggi, Joan Manuel Serrat, Jordi Savall, T de Teatre and La Caldera.
The big international names attending the festival will include Corinne Bailey Rae, Bijan Sheibani, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Aydin Tejer and Omar Porras and William Ospina.
Catering for all tastes
As for the shows for the whole family, the festival will be presenting a contemporary opera entitled Amb els peus a la lluna, as well as three circus shows from the Zimmermann & de Perrot company.
In addition, this year will include a Tiquet Rambla ticket office at the Palau de la Virreina, where tickets can be bought at a 50% discount, three hours before a performance starts.
