Pau Casals' echo is international, but it is not widely known that his brother Enric also contributed to his success. "He was Pau Casals' technical soul. He was the one who orchestrated and also acted as his manager, friend, and assistant director," points out stage director Xavier Albertí. In alliance with writer Jordi Lara, they have created a show about the relationship between the two Casals brothers and their ways of experiencing success. The play is titled "Les barques volen pel cel" and premieres on Saturday at the Church of Santa Maria d'Àneu, as part of the Dansàneu festival. Later, in December, it will also be performed at the Palau de la Música.

The Dansàneu reaches its 35th edition, reaffirming itself as much more than a performing arts festival. From July 24 to August 2, the Valls d’Àneu will once again become a stage where music, dance, theater, literature, and thought dialogue with the monumental and natural heritage of the Pyrenees. True to over three decades of history, the festival champions a culture rooted in the territory but fully contemporary, capable of reinterpreting tradition and turning it into a driving force for creation, reflection, and cohesion.
