Xavi Castillo at the Library of Social Sciences
Next Tuesday, October 14, the Paraula Viva project will feature the testimony of the well-known comedian Xavi Castillo, directly affected by the DANA of October 29, 2024. The water swept away the workshop of his company Pot de Plom in Picanya, destroying sets, costumes and scenic materials.
With his irreverent and critical style, Castillo has turned that experience into a creative engine. In the series “Les cròniques del Ventorro” and in his recent shows such as “El Ventorro”, he reflects with humor and satire on fragility, the management of catastrophe and the strength of culture to resist.
In this session of Paraula Viva, he will share how he experienced that episode and how art can transform pain into memory and collective consciousness.
🗓 Tuesday, October 14, 7:00 p.m.
📍 Gregori Maians Social Sciences Library – Main Hall
