And Saturday returned to the CCCB, to spend time in the always curious Kosmopolis , a festival of what they call literature, a curious event mixing music festival with performances but related to the word, written or not. I think ultimately that is summarized in seeing conference desks or journalists and poetic performances. Not whether the concept can go beyond or is all you can give. But since the first edition that I go there a lot of threads on science fiction you have good memories and this year the conditions were to be repeated. evening began with a look at the expo Desapareguts we had yet to immediately get to the Café Europe to see some performance poetry performances XXI century is connected with the avant garde of the twentieth century (the host as it sounds). Let us cast a smile with that of poetry or what they do Chris Keulemans, Theros Xavier, Xavier Maristany the micropoetisa lowering the purchase Garlic, Francesca Beard and little else, these poems with performed live music with humorous texts, but I think that would be heavy, special mention to the recording of the Ursonate that happened.
abandon coffee to go and see Europe conference Alessandro Baricco, first sword of Italian literature, who gave a conference where he defended the barbarians have always won the battles of writing citing the oral Homer defeated by the written philosophy of Plato, Flaubert's Madame Bovary I think the novel The Face Reader pro-establishment, and as the iPhone change the written form. That sounds a pedant of the wafer, but the truth was more than entertained by the guy has TABALSA, and though his arguments are picked up with tweezers, style pirates and global warming, he does get along to entertain the viewer and of the question, and the simultaneous translator helps the show with their performances. Before we even had time to see some Video Chat the Henry Jenkins on transmedia, which looked like interesting.
After Baricco, other performance poetry, this time in English Spoken Out Chris "Ventriloquist" Redmond, who is also a musician, but as a festival of literature, here came in the version reciter of poetry, or versed written, because talking about how shit in one eye in Glastonbury has a strange poetic, or enjoying a Sunday that is to demolish two buildings and a James Brown concert. Curious.
went to see a bit of Afterpop Fernandez & Fernandez but his recitation of spoken word strange electronic pop with bases not just to convince us and had a conference that seemed more interesting.
The conference went Wikileaks Canvis ch of the Arab riots. With journalists Javeria Rizvi Kabani, Bensedrine and Lali Sandiumenge , put pieces of documentary Silence Zero and spoke of the importance of the Internet in the riots, in addition to shit a little Western governments, particularly in the Sarkozy and Berlusconi. Very timely and much twitter, with a major literary festival continues to twitter, the present of the written word, things paths.
And to finish the night, but it later witnessing the end of the first national contest Poetry Slam. It's poetry slam is a competition between poets, basically go up and have 3 minutes to recite the poem and perhaps, if they spend the remaining time points or if too much is disqualified. Poems then scored a jury selected at random and throwing balls to the public, and nothing, a sort of Eurovision or diving but with poetry. There were 10 finalists who made a first round leaving four for the final, the winner will be represented at the international competition. To amuse the respectable were also Daniel Orviz , which has a very entertaining performance poetry, and energy Bob Holman, it's famous slam, and their performances and their raps poetic recitations or whatever. Then there were the contestants who had their pluses and minuses that well but aix, tics typical of poetry than those who do not like poetry, we squeak, topical issues, excessive literary ... What would be the poetry we go, it works more for the likes of you like poetry and literature classical literature, worst bores us who are not going to ea rope. So funny, entertaining, but it would not have won the away win or if I had voted. Make a poem citing Zeus and Sagar and rhyming the word temper gives more points than the subtle irony of the current modernillas technological trends or cite movie titles of pop culture, is that in this country are what we are and then leave us .
And with that, and many were made and we went to change the time at home, to be even later. Weird things happen in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bmy grandmother would think if you explain how to pass a Saturday afternoon. One will look like a fucking modernillo Barcelona Cultureta doing these things, and nothing is further from reality, so today because of the weather we detoxified watching Formula 1, reading On Thursday and putting up the ass eating botillo and other pieces of pork marinated and cooked well, that something is one thing and nothing else.
's it, so I remember these things are rare in postmodern cities.
