Poetry Festival i + 2023

Poetry Festival i +. From June 27 - July 9!

Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Fundació Palau, we want to vindicate the origins and recognize the roots to light a new fire. We propose a return to the crudest word and the original meaning of poetry, to poetry as a collective celebration -oral act and prayed act- and also as a research laboratory and a reception space for all identities.

We want to do a somersault to connect past and future and open new paths that stimulate us to walk and rethink the environment, also poetry. More and more we want to be a space open to all forms of life, to all the possibilities of the word and the voice, and we want to do it paying attention to what poetry is originally.

The 18th edition of Poetry i +, then, wants to be a radical commitment to words and research, to poetry and experimentation with new formats of saying and new ways of life. Also a non-crowded, accessible meeting space. In short, an attempt to test other possibilities, other futures that split from this gloomy present.

Poetry i + wants to be more than ever a space for discoveries, a space connected with the microuniverse that welcomes it and also with the world that surrounds it, a dialogue between there and there, a laboratory to play and to be surprised, a meeting to try to imagine futures and push the present, a dialogue between generations that leaves no one out, a commitment to diversity and broad horizons in which everyone fits. From there we have drawn some programming lines that run through the entire program.

Locations: Caldes d'Estrac, Sant Pol de Mar, Mataró, Teià, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Dosrius, Alella, Arenys de Mar and Sant Vicenç de Montalt.

Do not miss it!
