Solo performatiu

Josep-Maria Balanyà

Wednesdays of sound and body

Activity open to everyone and free with capacity limited to 55 people

Language: catalan

Without the grand piano he usually uses, Balanyà will extract sounds from miscellaneous objects and whatever is within reach in the room. He will transmit his musical energy, exploring the relationship between the audience and himself, until he reaches a communion, possibly a collective catharsis. You could say it's a kind of shamanism: the spiritual energy of the sound will be transferred through Balanyà's body to the audience.

Activity curated by BCN ImproFest

With the participation of Josep-Maria Balanyà
