Els Teatres del Farró –made up of La Gleva and La Fàbrica– aim to consolidate the production and co-production of small and medium-format shows with remarkable artistic value. "We are not interested in disposable culture at all –remarked Albert de la Torre, its artistic director, this Monday during the season's presentation–. If we believe a production is extraordinary, it should be possible to see it again. It can't be that we let it die".

The idea of having a conversation with one of your creative totems who have disappeared -recently or centuries ago- has motivated one of the most unique books of the summer, Interviews from beyond the grave published by Libros del Kultrum. The book's editor, Dan Crowe, brings together nearly thirty writers. "We all talk to the dead", he explains. "What kind of wicked desire fuels the need to interview someone who raises hollyhocks? We want the deceased to provide us with information, to reveal secrets to us, to explain to us what they were unaware of in life". Perhaps because the interviewer "needs to think that the dead person knows more than the living", sometimes the interviews end up drifting towards "advice and help".
