WeBarcelona newsletter

It surely happened to you. We live with a sense of unreality, fiction or directly science fiction. Some expert says that the important thing is to perceive this situation of confinement as something temporary and that if our mind, dejected or surrendered, happens to feel it as normal, the return to daily life will be harder. So we propose an immersion in real fiction, that of cinema and literature, and as Fernando Savater says, we turn day to day into a game: suppose that confinement or dodging others in the supermarket is a game, just like the Syrian father who made the bombings a game for his son. And so that the desire for Barcelona does not pass you, it is better that fiction has a relationship with our city. While the confinement lasts, while events cannot be organized, we will propose you a film and a book that take place in Barcelona or that are, in some way, related to our city. We will also propose you an event (online, of course) and as a bonus a musical theme.
