Early access to pornography and Welcome to Pagès: what caught our attention this week

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

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.

You can take advantage of the good weather this weekend to attend the fifth edition of Viu Montjuïc, which will allow you to discover the Barcelona Botanical Garden and the Historic Botanical Garden thanks to the program they've prepared for all audiences. Admission is free to both gardens, which open at 10 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. At the Botanical Garden, among other activities, you'll find several animal-shaped games on Saturday that will test your skills and cunning, and at the Historic Botanical Garden, you can take a guided tour on Sunday morning.

You can now enjoy the film in the cinema A boat in the garden. It is a poetic and metaphorical journey of a French family who decides to build a boat in their garden. Throughout this adventure, young François builds a relationship with his father based on mutual admiration and love. The film is based on the childhood of prestigious director Jean-François Laguionie, winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film for The Atlantic crossing à la rameSome of the theaters showing the film will also host a participatory show in which the film's imagery will be transferred to the screen. This is the case at the JCA Cines Tarragona-Valls (October 5 at 6 p.m.).

If you're a fan of puppets, theater, the circus, magic, and music, the fall program at La Casa Elizalde in Barcelona is sure to provide a great time with your family. It begins on October 11th with the puppet show. The maidens of Bellaguarda. Those who like the circus the most can go see it on October 18th.

If you feel like going to the movies, it has already been released Barracuda's Treasure, the new animated film directed by Adrià García (Nocturna), based on the best-selling novel by Llanos Campos, winner of the 2014 SM El Barco de Vapor Award. A pirate story that combines adventure, humor, friendship, and the transformative power of reading. The film is also made in handcrafted 2D, with hand-drawn illustrations and vibrant colors, capturing the warmth of illustrated stories. A film designed to be enjoyed by both adults and children.

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

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.
