The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) adds two proposed performances to the Festival programme in addition to two dance shows that were rescheduled following the suspension of the Metropolitan Dance Fortnight.
This will be an intense two days in which dance and movement, but also performance, will play a prominent role. The MACBA Chapel is currently getting ready to perform these four shows under the conditions ordered by the health authorities:
Guillem Mont de Palol and Jorge Dutor
Sortir de l’armari
9 pm
Two artists working on the boundaries of movement and performance arts take us on a journey through their Barcelona, through the places where they met, where they fucked, where they grew up and where they fell in love. The online tour goes through the Barcelona for tourists, the hidden city and the places of significance in LGBTQ+ history. Their work is similar to that of Ocaña, Genet and Pepe Espaliú. This is well and truly a coming out of the closet, in which they talk about subjects that are fundamental in their daily lives, such as HIV, their disagreements and other ways to love and look after each other. Guillem was living in Amsterdam, and Jorge in Madrid, when they first met in Barcelona, but they have been working together since 2008. Together, they have written stage creations such as ¿Y por qué John Cage? (2011), #Losmicrófonos (2013), the opera Grand Applause (2016) and the works Lo pequeño (2018) and Lo mínimo (2019), both of them with Cris Blanco. In 2014, they won the Applause award for emerging creation, one of the FAD Sebastià Gasch Awards for Paratheatrical Arts.
