Sâlmon Festival, organised by Centro de Creación del Graners and Mercats de las Flors, presents contemporary performances related to body language and the language of movement with a far-reaching programming philosophy that includes exhibitions, talks on art, training, involvement in the local context, artists’ residencies, thought creation and theoretic reflection among others. It is held in the last month of the year and runs for two weeks.
The support of Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) through its Programme for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture (PICE) in the modality of Visitors makes it possible to support the travelling expenses of foreign curators and programmers.
The 2021 edition of Sâlmon is born driven by the structure that preserves its existence, an ecosystem of venues that keep living arts alive in Barcelona – the Antic Teatre, La Caldera, Graner and La Poderosa – and a team of artists and generators of contexts who have been shaking up the scene for decades: Sofía Asencio, Bea Fernández, Iñaki Álvarez and Ariadna Rodríguez, curators who will sustain the 2021 and 2022 editions with Dianelis Diéguez in mediation. With the river renewed, this structure or tentacular organism that operates through mutual effect begins a new phase and it calls us again from 17 to 21 February 2021.
