'Dark'

Free Space

'La Fosca'

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 can be seen at the Espai Lliure in Montjuïc until October 19. Tickets are priced between 7 and 12 euros, and the recommended age is 4 to 9 years.

Clearer image rights in schools
Drets d'imatge dels menors a l'escola

In these first few weeks of school, I'm sure more than one of you has had to decide whether or not to give the school permission to share images of your children. We were surprised to find that some schools ask you to opt out of a simple Yeah or one No Without specifying which channels they use, since posting the image on a social network that practically everyone can access isn't the same as posting it on a space on the school website where you must enter with a password. It would be simpler and clearer for schools to specify which channels families want to give permission to and which ones they don't.
