12:00 – PEA GREEN BOAT L’arbre de les sabates
Tim can’t find his left shoe. He looks for it everywhere until Mr. Gris tells him he’ll probably find it in a very special tree. Following the old man’s instructions, Tim, hopping on one foot, sets out on a journey to find his lost shoe.
19:00 – MARC CAELLAS Come en casa Borges
The phrase “Eat at Casa Borges” crosses Borges by Bioy Casares, possibly the first blog in the universe, from beginning to end like a powerful mantra.
Two Argentinian writers read fragments of Borges. This reading selects certain passages and combines them according to the obsessions of their creators: Argentina, literature, tourism, acting, Catalonia, women, critics, widows. Two screens remind us of the real and symbolic objects being referred to: on one we see the famous interview Borges gave on Spanish national television and on the other, Last year at Marienbad, the film by Alain Resnais. As a counterpoint to the text, Carolina Torres Topaga embodies the ghost of Silvina Ocampo and a singer plays music and dances tango. The climax arrives at the precise moment that Bioy mentions María Kodama and the dance leaves no doubt as to the future implications of this encounter.
21:00 – EL PÈSOL FARÉSTEC Presentació del nou disc titulat Treure’n robins (The Indian Runners, 2017)
