Sense xarxa

Neil Sabatés and Paula S. Piedad join voices in a poetry recital that is both an invocation and a journey. Two poets with a great rhapsodic capacity who make the spoken word a living, vibrant body, capable of sustaining silence and tearing it apart. Their poetry is not just to be listened to: it takes form, resonates and shakes.

The recital will cover diverse and profound territories: the mourning that weighs and transforms, the love that illuminates and wounds, the desire that burns under the skin, and the distance that separates bodies, time and memories. With rhythm, intensity and a powerful stage presence, Sabatés and Piedad invite the audience to enter into a poetic experience in which emotion and words walk together, without a net, to the limit.
