SÂLMON< FESTIVAL
It is difficult to define a festival of creation of very live arts, almost until the same moment in which it becomes. SÂLMON< is a festival of contemporary creation, that works from the confidence. El Graner has been at the forefront of the Festival during its first 6 editions and as a promoter in its 7th edition, which has consolidated it as the Festival of Live Art of Barcelona. As co-curator and promoter of the festival, El Graner has worked on a mediated edition with La Poderosa, Antic Teatre, Mercat de les Flors and La Caldera to make visible medium and long-term relationships with the creators of its closest context. Within the SÂLMON< programming, you will find scenic proposals from the inhabitants of the Graner, but not only from them, also from creators related to other structures of the city, with international creators and creators who work in expanded areas of education, artistic mediation and community. SÂLMON< is often defined with the phrase ‘Movement and more’ since it also incorporates other actions and drifts, because we think that, first and foremost, a festival is an opportunity for encounters, in ways and in multiple spaces, that is why we bet on a programming that expands outside the “theater”. To this phrase of “Movement and more” from now on we have to add the phrase “More voices and more shared decisions”, because the SÂLMON< mutates and looks for a way to make that leads us to different ways of sharing, That’s why Salmon <Festival is closer to being a joint space with the collaboration of the artistic ecosystem that nourishes and welcomes the city of Barcelona.
