Experience Montjuïc and 'La Fosca' among the cultural offerings
BarcelonaThis week we'd like to recommend the show 'La Fosca' at the Espai Lliure and the fall programming at La Casa Elizalde, among others.
We also offer a review of the week's current events through Andrea Zayas' comic strip, the To think about it and the data and statements that caught our attention the most.
Cultural and leisure activities
Free Space
There's a moment when we're little when we begin to imagine. We daydream. We see things that aren't there. Or are they? Then comes fear. The fear of being left alone with what we imagine, in the darkness. Dark is, precisely, the title of Aurora Bauzà and Pere Jou's new show, a visual and audio journey from darkness to light. A contemporary and sensorial show to help children discover a world of magic, mystery, and wonderful opportunities in the dark, because darkness shouldn't be synonymous with fear. With three performers and singers on stage, the piece combines movement, live vocals, music, and lighting technology. It premieres this Sunday at the Espai Lliure in Montjuïc and can be seen until October 19. Tickets are priced between 7 and 12 euros, and the recommended age is 4 to 9 years old.

October 4 and 5
From interacting with sheep on a family farm in the Empordà to seeing how rice is grown in the Ebro Delta Natural Park or playing farmers on a farm in Les Garrigues. These are just some of the activities planned for the tenth edition of Welcome to Pagès - La Festa, which will take place on October 4 and 5. These activities will include visits to farms, orchards, and agricultural holdings throughout Catalonia. These are lasting experiences that aim to raise awareness among future adults. A great opportunity to learn about and rediscover the origins of what we eat and gain insight into the daily lives of farmers. Farm and operation visits cost €2.50 for those over 15 and are free for children. Registration can be completed on the website. Welcome to Labrador.
Literary recommendations from Marta Gil, bookseller at El Gat Pelut
By Édouard Manceau (Kókinos)
An interactive cardboard album that invites little ones to play with a friendly teddy bear: kissing him, making faces, or talking to him as if he were a friend. With simple typography and a surprise mirror on the back page, it's a fun and loving read to share with the family.
Ages 2 and up.
Things That Happen (To Me), by Andrea Zayas
To think about it
A UOC study has revealed alarming data on early access to pornography among minors. Around 20% of adolescents admit to having consumed pornography before turning ten, and there are cases of minors who start as early as eight. We've known about this early exposure to pornographic content for years. How is it possible that we still haven't found a solution to prevent a child from being exposed when they go online or play a video game? The unequal reality between the sexes is also shocking: while for boys it may be part of their daily lives, girls consume it more sporadicly and occasionally. And let's not forget that pornography has become their primary tool for sexual education, with all that this entails.
