**(EN)** **Duende Sessions**, Barcelona’s festival dedicated to experimental poetry, live sound, and hybrid performance, returns in 2026 with a full day program that merges cinema, spoken word, music, and visual art into a single immersive experience. According to the official program, the festival opens with a curated selection of videopoetry films, presented as “a selection of the best video poetry films around the world” . This cinematic introduction transforms the venue’s auditorium into a global window on contemporary poetic experimentation. The screenings are followed by the documentary **“The Window on Death Row”**, which tells the story of Joaquín José Martínez, “the first Spaniard exonerated from U.S. death row” . Directed by Linda Freund, the film invites audiences to reflect on justice, forgiveness, and the fragility of human life. **LIVE PROGRAM — POETRY, MUSIC & VISUALS** The live performances begin with **Anastazi Mouskai (GR)**, whose hypnotic, theatrical presence opens the festival with emotional intensity and embodied poetics. She is followed by **Philip Meersman (BE)**, presenting experimental poetry that expands the boundaries of spoken word through multilingual, socio political, and XR driven approaches. Next, **April15 (EN)** brings a tender fusion of spoken word, instrumental music, and song, a duo weaving intimate narratives through voice and melody. The program continues with the transdisciplinary trio **Elina Cerla (EN)**, **Verena Grundhammer (AT)**, and **Dagui (FR)**, who present a short but potent piece combining poetry, curated visuals, and live sound, creating a synesthetic micro universe. The first performance block closes with **Maria Baka & Stratos Sterianos (GR)**, whose work merges spoken word, movement, image, and electronic sound into a continuous act of becoming a dialogue between body, voice, and frequency. After a brief intermission, the evening resumes with **Alex Loro (ES)**, a key figure in Barcelona’s underground spoken word scene, followed by **Elizabeth Gex (EN/ES)**, whose viola driven practice bridges classical, flamenco, jazz, and improvisation. The program then moves into the darker, more electric side of the festival with **Daréka (FR)**, known for his internationally touring blend of spoken word and electronic experimentation, and **Palina (FR)**, whose work explores exile, love, and political displacement with emotional depth. Berlin based **Mad Kate (DE)** follows with an experimental poetry act rooted in body politics, radical imagination, and electronic performance. After a second intermission, **Gisela Arimany (CAT)** takes the stage with an experimental poetry performance enriched by sound driven visuals. The festival closes with **Makis & Yzaura — HYPNOTIK TRANSPHORMATION**, a 40 minute immersive duet of spoken word, live sound, and visual composition described in their program notes as “a poetic journey, exploring the struggle against loneliness and the pressure of a world that constantly demands more” . **ABOUT DUENDE SESSIONS** Duende Sessions positions itself as a platform for artistic risk taking, a space where poetry is not recited but embodied, where sound is not background but protagonist, and where audiences are invited into a shared, transformative experience. This year’s edition brings together artists from Greece, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, the US, and the UK, reflecting the festival’s commitment to international dialogue and experimental creation. **Tickets** \- There are various packages of tickets due to the venue's restrictions\.

Según el programa oficial, el festival se inaugura con una cuidada selección de videopoesía internacional, presentada como “una selección de las mejores películas de videopoesía del mundo”. Esta primera parte convierte el auditorio en una ventana global hacia la experimentación poética contemporánea. A continuación se proyecta el documental **“The Window on Death Row”**, que narra la historia de Joaquín José Martínez — “el primer español exonerado del corredor de la muerte en EE. UU.”. Dirigida por Linda Freund, la película invita a reflexionar sobre la justicia, el perdón y la fragilidad de la vida humana. **PROGRAMA — POESÍA, MÚSICA Y VISUALES** Las actuaciones en directo se abren con **Anastazi Mouskai (GR)**, cuya presencia hipnótica y teatral marca el tono emocional del festival. Le sigue **Philip Meersman (BE)**, poeta multilingüe que expande los límites del spoken word a través de enfoques experimentales, socio políticos y XR. El dúo **April15 (EN)** aporta una fusión íntima de spoken word, música instrumental y canciones, tejiendo narrativas sensibles y melódicas. La propuesta continúa con el trío transdisciplinar **Elina Cerla (EN)**, **Verena Grundhammer (AT) y Dagui (FR)**, que presenta una pieza breve pero intensa donde poesía, visuales y sonido en vivo crean un micro universo sinestésico. El primer bloque se cierra con **Maria Baka & Stratos Sterianos (GR)**, cuya obra combina palabra, movimiento, imagen y electrónica en un estado continuo de transformación. Tras una breve pausa, el escenario recibe a **Alex Loro (ES)**, figura destacada del spoken word underground de Barcelona, seguido por **Elizabeth Gex (EN/ES)**, cuya práctica con la viola atraviesa lo clásico, lo flamenco, el jazz y la improvisación. La noche avanza hacia territorios más eléctricos con **Daréka (FR)**, reconocido por su mezcla de poesía y electrónica en giras internacionales, y **Palina (FR)**, poeta bielorrusa que explora el exilio, el amor y la identidad política. Desde Berlín, **Mad Kate (DE)** presenta un acto de poesía experimental centrado en el cuerpo, la imaginación radical y la performance electrónica. Tras una segunda pausa, **Gisela Arimany (CAT)** ofrece una pieza de poesía experimental acompañada de visuales sonoros. El festival culmina con **Makis & Yzaura — HYPNOTIK TRANSPHORMATION**, un dúo inmersivo de spoken word, sonido en vivo y composición visual descrito como “un viaje poético que explora la lucha contra la soledad y la presión de un mundo que exige constantemente más”. **SOBRE DUENDE SESSIONS** **Duende Sessions** se consolida como un espacio para el riesgo artístico: un lugar donde la poesía no se recita, se encarna; donde el sonido no acompaña, lidera; donde el público es invitado a una experiencia compartida y transformadora. La edición 2026 reúne artistas de Grecia, España, Francia, Bélgica, Alemania, Austria, Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, reafirmando el compromiso del festival con el diálogo internacional y la creación experimental. **Entradas**: Debido a las restricciones del recinto, existen varios paquetes de entradas.

A special edition meetup with a very special guest! International speaker Daniel Afonso will talk about the Framework wars and what he learned from them! Don't miss out! 🚀 ────────── **18:30: Welcome** **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 React-Driven Development: Career Lessons from the Framework Wars** Speaker: Daniel Afonso, Senior Developer Advocate at PagerDuty "No one uses what I built!" "Why can't I get support to do this?" "I don't even know why we're using that?" "Why am I always the one doing everything?" Sound familiar? The truth is, friction is ever-present in our careers — in our influence, processes, relationships, and even the code we ship. But we're rarely taught how to handle it. Here's the fun fact: React's history is full of lessons in dealing with friction. From the early skepticism around JSX and the Virtual DOM to the chaos of Server Components, the React team has navigated many friction points you'll face: skeptical stakeholders, unclear messaging, delayed initiatives, and the challenge of getting buy-in. So let's recap the highlights since its birth to the latest release, understand what React got right (and wrong), and extract practical takeaways you can apply to your career, team, and developer experience initiatives. Whether you're leading a team, building internal tools, or advocating for a technical decision, you'll leave with concrete strategies for driving change, building trust, and shipping initiatives that actually get adopted. **20:00: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup? Reach out to Dan Neciu [on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/neciudan/) And please help us spread the news and grow the community: **21:15 Meetup finished** **(FOR EARLY ACCESS: WE ALWAYS POST FIRST ON SOCIAL MEDIA)** [Twitter(X)](https://x.com/ReactJsBCN) [BlueSky](https://bsky.app/profile/reactbarcelona.bsky.social) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/reactjs-barcelona/) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reactjs_barcelona/) ────────── **Sponsors:** Perk The intelligent platform for travel and spend.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
