Terrats en Cultura has presented the program for its 14th edition, which will be held from June 12 to July 24 on various rooftops in Barcelona and l’Hospitalet de Llobregat. In total, thirteen shows of dance, theater, music, and comedy will be offered and, this year, names like Pablo Macho Otero, Enric Nolla, Oye Sherman or Thelee will participate.
Regarding the chosen rooftops, these will not be revealed until the day of the show itself. And it is that, the proposal, advocates for the recovery of unconventional spaces and plays with the feeling of uncertainty and mystery. For now, the only thing known is that the festival reclaims rooftops as “spaces for meeting, culture, and critical thinking”.
The program
The program will include a dozen shows from four different artistic disciplines: 5 concerts, 6 theater shows, 1 dance piece, and 1 Stand Up proposal. In parallel, 4 post-show colloquiums and a wine tasting will also be held. Specifically, the following performances can be seen:
