Anem a veure *“Beethoven”*, treball que entrellaça música i teatre a través de la figura de Ludwig van Beethoven i el polifacètic artista Xavier Albertí. **Important:** cada persona gestiona la seva entrada. Preu de l'entrada: 16 euros amb el descompte que ofereix el teatre. **BEETHOVEN** Protagonitzat per Xavier Albertí al piano, aquest espectacle-concert vol explorar la profunda petjada estètica i ideològica que el compositor de Bonn ha deixat sobre la nostra contemporaneïtat. Beethoven fou el gran reconfigurador de la peripècia musical. Sense ell, no només la música actual seria diferent: també el món occidental seria probablement un altre. Beethoven, doncs, és una contundent demostració del poder revolucionari de l’art gràcies a l’extraordinària empremta de la bellesa sobre els canvis socials i polítics. Gràcies a les emocions profundes que la cultura pot arribar a desvetllar. Direcció escènica i dramatúrgia: Xavier Albertí i Albert Arribas Text i interpretació: Xavier Albertí Vestuari: Manuel Mateos Il·luminació: Aurembiaix Montardit 70 min. Espectacle en català

T’imagines la passió de l’òpera fora d’un gran teatre? Nosaltres transformarem un espai ple d’històries en un escenari on la música i les paraules es troben. Així que et convidem a una experiència íntima i totalment original: una versió de concert del gran mestre Giuseppe Verdi, **Rigoletto**, que et farà vibrar a pocs centímetres dels artistes, al cor de la preciosa **Llibreria Byron**. **BYRON és una llibreria-cafè , punt cultural de referència a Barcelona**. Un espai polivalent on *la literatura, la gastronomia i l’activitat cultural i social* es donen la mà per oferir un lloc únic a BCN. **Una llibreria amb gairebé 500 metres de prestatgeries, una gran sala d’actes i molts racons on seure a llegir, gaudir** **de presentacions literàries i degustar un bon cafè.** *Que veurem aquest dia?* De la mà del gran pianista **Elke Sanjosè**, i amb els artistes: ***Lucas Groppo*, *Alberto Espinosa*, Romina Krieger i Mariel Aguilar** **Una de les òperes més intenses de Verdi** arriba en una adaptació àgil i teatral amb tota la seva força dramàtica. La història del bufó **Rigoletto**, el seu amor per la seva filla *Gilda* i la crueltat del *Duc* es desplega en un format que potencia l\*‘emoció, el text i la psicologia dels personatges.\* Música en directe, narració i una posada pensada per a sentir cada matís d’aquesta tragèdia humana. **SINOPSI:** **Rigoletto** es un bufón en la corte del *duque de Mantua*. A pesar de ser una figura cómica, Rigoletto es muy inteligente y astuto, y el duque lo respeta por ello. Sin embargo, Rigoletto es muy protector de su hija *Gilda* y odia a la corte por su libertinaje y falta de moral. Un día, el duque de Mantua decide conquistar a Gilda, y Rigoletto teme por su seguridad. Para protegerla, Rigoletto la esconde en un lugar secreto y contrata a un asesino para matar al duque. Sin embargo, el plan de Rigoletto falla y, en lugar del duque, Gilda es raptada y llevada a la corte. Desesperado por encontrar a su hija, Rigoletto se enfrenta al duque y descubre que su hija ha sido seducida por él. En un acto de venganza, Rigoletto jura matar al duque. Sin embargo, su plan falla y Gilda muere en su lugar. **«Rigoletto»** es una historia **intensa y emotiva** sobre la *venganza, el amor y la traición*, y su música es igualmente impactante. **La obra es considerada una de las más grandes y populares óperas de Verdi y ha sido interpretada en teatros de todo el mundo durante más de un siglo.** ***RIGOLETTO***, de **Giuseppe Verdi** Adaptació per a quatre cantans i piano **Repartiment:** *Rigoletto — Lucas Groppo* *Duca di Mantova — Alberto Espinosa* *Gilda — Romina Krieger* *Maddalena / Condesa Ceprano / Narradora — Mariel Aguilar* **Piano:** Elke Sanjosè **Producció artística:** Romina Krieger **No t’ho perdis! Una activitat molt original i especial, viure la música a pocs centimetres es tota una experiència que no pots deixar escapar.** *A on? Quan?* **DATA :** 19/04/2026 – **HORA :** 20:00h – **LLOC :** [Carrer de Casanova, 32, Eixample, 08011 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a370308e5783:0x963f7398e57ac7a6?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) **PREU:** 32,5€ (ENTRADES A FILA 2)

Join us for a great afternoon full of fun games involving acting, improvisation, and theater! No experience or acting skills required. All you need is imagination! Anyone who is interested in trying something new is welcome. It's also a great way to meet people, or to practice your English. After the event we usually go for drinks and/or dinner together. **What do we do in this event?** We will play all sorts of games that involve acting and improvisation. Many of them you might know from the TV show "Whose Line is it Anyway?". The games we play are different every time, but here are some typical examples: [https://youtu.be/Y_KMYPsPNXQ](https://youtu.be/Y_KMYPsPNXQ) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkxRzV3gtDc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkxRzV3gtDc) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXMcdieubL0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXMcdieubL0) If you don't like some of the games, then don't worry, you can participate in as many games as you want and it's perfectly fine to skip any games you don't like. **How much does it cost?** We're charging 2 euros per person. This is just to help recover some of the expenses of the meetup account. We're hosting this event only for fun and we do not intend to make any money out of it. You can pay in cash or by Bizum when you arrive at the event. **In what language will this event be?** All games will be played in English. Of course, we do not expect you to speak perfect English, but without a basic level of English it will be hard to participate (if you're not sure about your level of English, just come along and try). **Can I come to just watch?** Sure! If you don't want to participate, or if you're not sure yet, then you're welcome to just come along and watch. **What do I need to bring or wear?** You don't need to bring or wear anything special. However, it is advisable to wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily. **Do I need to prepare anything?** Nope! The whole point of improvisation is that you can't prepare anything :) **If I want to join, do I need to sign up?** Yes, please! Even if there are more than enough places, it is very important that you still sign up for this event. This is for two reasons: 1\. If not enough people sign up then I may have to cancel the event\. 2\. The more people sign up\, the more attractive this event becomes for other people to also sign up\. Anyway, if you forget to sign up you're still more than welcome to join :) **Where do we meet?** We meet in the Parc de la Ciutadella. If you're coming from the Arc de Triomf and enter the park, turn left directly after the entrance. You will see a big industrial art piece (see photos). Keep walking until you passed it. We will meet right behind this art piece. When we arrive at the meeting point we usually upload a selfie to the photos section of this event, so you can recognize us. We also usually bring a small A4-sized meetup sign. **Can I suggest some games to play?** Sure! If you know any fun games that are related to improv theater and that you would like to play, just let the organizers know before the start of the event. We're always happy to receive input from the participants. **Do you have a Whatsapp group to stay in contact after the event?** Yes, we do! If you want to join our group, please ask the organizers to add you, before or after the event.

In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film. If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
