A series that will make you cry with laughter and a must-see exhibition: what you can't miss this week
What you may have missed and what you definitely can't miss: the cultural and leisure activities of 'Ara Domingo'
The week that begins, with Jordi Garrigós
Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days
I will finishLittle faith, the extraordinary series by comedian Raúl Cimas, airing on Movistar Plus. If it was already the breakout series of 2023, this new batch of episodes directly establishes it as one of the great episodic comedies of this century. Raw and endearing at the same time, and filled with incredibly intelligent absurdist humor, it never fails to deliver memorable scenes that will make you cry with laughter.
I will buy The new album by Filibusters, legends of roots music and the Vilafranca del Penedès festival. Ready to celebrate their first quarter-century of existence, they've just released Illustrated Rondinaires, their latest studio album. The recipe is similar to the usual: lots of bars, parties, dancing, and Catalan roots. Arnau Tordera, frontman of Los Obeses, collaborates.
I will readShots in the dark (Liburuak), the book by photographer David Arnoff that portrays the punk scene on the American West Coast in the 1970s. A wonderful collection of black and white photographs of some of the great legends of 20th-century music. From the Ramones to Alex Chilton, and from Lou Reed to Debbie Harry and Patti Smith. Arnoff was practically one of them.
The week that ends, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets
Notes on what we have seen, heard, tasted and, ultimately, experienced in the last seven days
I have celebrated the premiere of the new season of Slow horses, one of the best spy series of the moment, starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden. The group of losers from MI5's most decadent office begins to suspect the new partner of the in-house IT expert, while in London, a series of inexplicable events begin to occur that some suspect may be connected. Available on Apple TV+.
I have visited at CaixaForum the exhibition We are nature, an immersive exhibition that blends art, science, and technology with a clear objective: that we emerge fully aware that the Earth needs us. That we must become agents of change to save the planet and all its biodiversity. Through immersive screens, the exhibition immerses visitors in the beauty and fragility of the natural world with powerful images that are both a tribute to nature and its beauty and a call to action.
I have counted the days left until the premiere of the winning film at the San Sebastian Festival, SundaysThe film by Basque filmmaker Alauda Ruiz de Azúa proposes a plot that may seem far removed from the most everyday and current problems - the teenage daughter of a family announces that she wants to become a cloistered nun - but that serves as an excuse for the director to expose the viewer to their own prejudices and let them
I couldn't stop thinking about the book Art history in the feminine, published by Garbuix Books. This graphic novel by Sara Colaone and Marion Augustin aims to restore women's rightful place, with a journey through art history from the Renaissance to the present day. It demonstrates that there have always been women in the art world, and that many were successful in their time but later fell into obscurity.
