Marc Marquez's 2025 MotoGP winning streak ended with a crash from the lead at Austin, but that wasn't actually the most attention-grabbing part of his weekend. His audacious premeditated gamble that he could get the start aborted so he could switch to the right tyres for the drying conditions without getting a penalty paid off, but raised big questions over the robustness and interpretation of the rules around such situation. Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer explain what happened and why it was so contentious, as well as delving into Marc's subsequent crash and how much he should be castigated for it. Plus our takes on Pecco Bagnaia's sudden title bid revival, Alex Marquez's appearance as world championship leader, Joan Mir and Pedro Acosta's shunts, and a reminder of just how good Jack Miller can be.

Uma comitiva técnica da Secretaria de Estado da Cultura do Paraná (SEEC) está em Paris até domingo (16) para tratar do projeto de construção do Museu Internacional de Arte de Foz do Iguaçu, em parceria com o Centre Pompidou. O projeto da primeira filial do tradicional centro cultural francês no continente americano terá um investimento previsto de R$ 200 milhões e a obra deve ficar totalmente pronta em 2027, de acordo com o Governo do Paraná. A RFI Brasil conversou com Luciana Casagrande Pereira, secretária estadual da Cultura paranaense para saber mais detalhes sobre a iniciativa.  Maria Paula Carvalho, da RFI em ParisA comitiva brasileira desembarcou na capital francesa na segunda-feira (10) para reuniões, workshops e visitas técnicas com equipes do Centre Pompidou para troca de experiências, planejamento e diretrizes de concepção do novo espaço dedicado à arte no oeste do Paraná. As negociações com a instituição francesa começaram em 2022. O museu brasileiro será um espaço pluridisciplinar, abrangendo artes visuais, cinema, música e dança, consolidando-se como um centro cultural dinâmico no país.  “Para a gente, é uma grande oportunidade. É uma visibilidade para os nossos artistas. É uma entrada no circuito internacional de arte e é importante para a população ter acesso a esse acervo importante que o Pompidou tem, mas sempre dialogando com o nosso território”, destaca Luciana Casagrande Pereira, secretária da Cultura do Paraná. “Não é um Pompidou que chega exatamente como o da França e se instala na nossa região. O projeto científico foi concebido entre a nossa equipe e a equipe do Pompidou, mas ele nasce do zero. Sobre as exposições, o que vai ser apresentado, ainda estamos iniciando essa construção”, explica. O projeto arquitetônico da primeira sucursal de um dos mais famosos espaços de arte moderna e contemporânea de Paris na América terá a assinatura do arquiteto paraguaio Solano Benítez. “Ele é um arquiteto internacional, que já ganhou o Leão de Ouro na Bienal de Arquitetura de Veneza e que conhece a nossa região”, diz Luciana Casagrande Pereira sobre a escolha do autor. “Ele respeita muito o território, entende a nossa cultura, como nos comportamos ali”, acrescenta. “Tenho certeza de que será um orgulho não só para nós paranaenses e brasileiros, mas para os países vizinhos também”, completa. A ideia é de que a natureza seja um elemento central no conceito arquitetônico do edifício, que ficará a cerca de 10 minutos de carro do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, onde estão as famosas cataratas do Iguaçu. “Solano Benítez tem um estilo. Ele trabalha com o tijolo, que é um material milenar, que não tem nada de inovador, mas a técnica que ele usa é muito inovadora”, revela a secretária de Cultura. “Nós não vamos importar material de nenhum outro país. Nós vamos construir com a nossa matéria-prima, que é a terra”, comenta. A construção será feita em um terreno de 24 mil metros quadrados cedido pela CCR Aeroportos, empresa responsável pela administração do aeroporto de Foz do Iguaçu. “Eu não digo que é complexo, eu digo que é desafiador, é instigante”, afirma Luciana Casagrande Pereira. “Tem o projeto arquitetônico, mas você tem a preparação da cidade, da região, a sensibilização das pessoas, da comunidade, para receber. Tem a questão jurídica, financeira, tudo que um projeto deste tamanho envolve. Mas temos obtido muito sucesso em todos esses desafios e estamos muito animados”, acrescenta. “É um projeto grande, de 10.000 metros quadrados e nós estamos planejando as inaugurações em algumas fases. Pretendemos entregar o museu completo em 2027, mas em 2026 nós já teremos uma algumas partes abertas”, antecipa. A secretária de Cultura explica por que Foz do Iguaçu foi escolhida para abrigar a nova sede do Centre Pompidou. “Eu acho que há o interesse pela região de tríplice fronteira. Além disso, o Paraná passa por um momento de muita segurança jurídica”, continua. “Nós somos o primeiro estado em educação, o que é bem importante. É uma região muito fértil, onde nós estamos plantando este projeto. Então, acho que é uma somatória de valores”, conclui. O avanço na concretização do museu acontece em um ano chave para o Centre Pompidou de Paris, que fechou as portas, na segunda-feira à visitação nas salas de exposição permanentes para passar por uma grande reforma que deve durar cinco anos. Até setembro de 2025, o local abrigará ainda pequenas exposições temporárias, antes de interromper totalmente o seu funcionamento para a realização de um projeto colossal de restauração, cuja remoção do amianto será a parte mais demorada. A previsão é de reabertura em 2030. “Neste período de metamorfose do Pompidou estaremos ainda mais presentes no Brasil e no Paraná, será um momento crucial para todos nós, estamos muito felizes com este projeto”, afirma Laurent Le Bon, presidente do Centre Pompidou, citado pela equipe paranaense presente em Paris.  Uma comitiva do centro de artes francês, incluindo o presidente da instituição, esteve no Brasil em julho do ano passado para conhecer o espaço e definir detalhes do projeto de construção. Na ocasião, também foi feita a assinatura de parceria de colaboração técnica para a construção do museu no Paraná. Para Alice Chamblas, chefe de desenvolvimento internacional do Centre Pompidou, o Paraná tem uma paisagem cultural muito rica, especialmente na capital Curitiba. “Mas entendemos que é um desejo do Governo do Estado equilibrar essa paisagem, fortalecendo a cultura em outras regiões e o projeto do Museu Internacional de Arte de Foz do Iguaçu vem exatamente a esse encontro”, afirma a francesa, também citada pela equipe brasileira.    Carolina Loch, diretora de implantação do Museu Internacional de Arte de Foz do Iguaçu, explica que o acervo do museu estará muito conectado ao território onde o prédio será construído. Porém, os visitantes irão encontrar peças importantes da coleção francesa. “O museu terá um foco muito grande na América Latina, em especial nos países da tríplice fronteira, ao mesmo tempo em que teremos trabalhos que já são apresentados ao público na Europa, a partir da coleção do Pompidou, estabelecendo novas narrativas”, explica Loch.       A vinda da missão paranaense à Paris ocorre em um momento simbólico, já que 2025 marca o Ano do Brasil na França e o Ano da França no Brasil. “Eu acho que dá mais destaque. Ele não foi pensado para isso. Mas certamente é uma grande ação, tanto para o Brasil quanto para França”, afirma a secretária de Cultura do Paraná.  Sobre o Centre Pompidou Mais do que um museu de arte em Paris, o Centre Pompidou é um complexo cultural efervescente, que abriga biblioteca, ateliê de escultura, cinema, dança e um centro de estudos musicais e acústicos. O edifício, localizado no coração da cidade, chama a atenção pelos traços da construção, como a tubulação colorida, escadas rolantes visíveis e vidro e aço que cercam a estrutura, com vista para diversos cartões postais da capital francesa. O projeto imaginado pelos arquitetos Renzo Piano e Richard Rogers, a pedido do então presidente francês Georges Pompidou, destoa do resto da arquitetura em uma região conhecida por seus prédios que datam de outro século e chegou a ser chamado de “máquina horrível” durante a sua construção.   Inaugurado em 1977, o Beaubourg, como é carinhosamente conhecido, possui um rico acervo de arte moderna e contemporânea de cerca de 140 mil obras, de 1905 até à atualidade. Considerado um dos principais espaços de exposição de arte moderna e contemporânea do mundo, o Pompidou compete com o MoMA de Nova York para saber quem tem a maior coleção do planeta. O complexo cultural abriga peças de artistas como Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Frida Kahlo e Francis Bacon.  Com o fechamento temporário, uma parte de sua impressionante coleção será exibida no Grand Palais, também em Paris, assim como nas filiais do Pompidou fora da capital francesa, como na cidade de Metz, no leste da França, ou no exterior, como em Málaga, na Espanha, em Xangai, na China e, em breve, em Bruxelas, na Bélgica. Outra parte das obras será exposta em um polo artístico previsto para ser inaugurado em 2026, em Massy, a 30 minutos ao sul de Paris.

Avec le soutien de la Fondation Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière.Qu'est-ce qu'un objet d'art ? Qu'en dire ? Comment le présenter ? Objets en question présente le dialogue fertile et dynamique entre recherche scientifique et art d'avant-garde autour de ces questions pendant la période de l'entre-deux guerres en France.En présentant des oeuvres d'art, des notes, des croquis, des publications, l'exposition évoque cette approche expérimentale et rend compte des croisements entre archéologie, ethnologie, anthropologie et pratique artistique, en mettant l'accent sur le surréalisme.À partir des années 1930, plusieurs revues liées aux avant-gardes artistiques sont les supports d'une nouvelle dynamique. Cahiers d'art (1926-1965), Minotaure (1933-1939) et Documents (1929-1930) en particulier, créent un décloisonnement sans précédent des disciplines en mettant en dialogue des reproductions photographiques d'oeuvres antiques, modernes et extraeuropéennes. Galeries, musées, collections accompagnent ce mouvement. Cette mise en regard inédite soustrait oeuvres et objets à l'autorité de l'histoire de l'art classique, tout en en faisant naître des nouveaux sens.Parmi les collaborateurs et intervenants de ces revues, Pablo Picasso, Georges Henri et Thérèse Rivière, André Breton, Michel Leiris, Charles Ratton, Joan Miró, Brassaï, Claude Cahun ou encore Georges Bataille, aux côtés d'archéologues, d'ethnologues et de conservateurs de musées ou galeristes, partagent une curiosité commune pour l'art appartenant à un passé lointain, l'art non-occidental, mais aussi pour l'art populaire et l'art du quotidien. Leur approche expérimentale donne naissance à une nouvelle perception des objets, des lieux, des époques. Ils interrogent le concept même de musée en posant ces questions fondamentales : Qu'est-ce que l'objet ? Qu'est-ce que l'art ?Composée de quatre sections thématiques, conçues comme des constellations où oeuvres et archives manuscrites dessinent une figure et produisent du sens, l'exposition crée des interactions, parfois dissonantes, entre univers et cultures différents.

 We've got another guest! This week, we're calling Frankie Carchedi. You might have heard of him - he's one of the legendary crew chiefs currently working in MotoGP, winning the 2020 championship with Joan Mir and working with Marc Márquez last year. And since one of our hosts has experience as a crew chief himself, we've got plenty of questions!So, how do you deal with a rider's ego without shattering it? What tells you if a disappointing result is an issue with the rider, the tech or both? And that's not even getting into the secret strategy for using tires. Or a small discussion on the proper application of the tickling of riders' balls. Cheers everyone!Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Mystery at Museu Joan Miró: How Núria Saved the Day Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2024-12-21-08-38-20-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Al Museu Joan Miró de Barcelona, les llums de Nadal il·luminaven les sales mentre els visitants passejaven entre les obres d'art.En: At the Museu Joan Miró in Barcelona, the Christmas lights illuminated the rooms while visitors strolled among the artworks.Ca: Lluny a l'exterior, la neu cobria els carrers amb un mantell blanc, creant una atmosfera màgica.En: Far outside, the snow covered the streets with a white blanket, creating a magical atmosphere.Ca: Era hivern i, dins del museu, hi havia una inquietud amagada: un dels quadres més famosos havia desaparegut misteriosament.En: It was winter, and inside the museum, there was a hidden anxiety: one of the most famous paintings had mysteriously disappeared.Ca: La Núria, una conservadora d'art amb una passió ardent pel patrimoni català, es trobava davant d'un dilema.En: Núria, an art conservator with a burning passion for Catalan heritage, was faced with a dilemma.Ca: Sabia que sense el quadre, el prestigi del museu estava en risc i, amb les retallades pressupostàries, també ho estava la seva feina.En: She knew that without the painting, the prestige of the museum was at risk and, with budget cuts, so was her job.Ca: Mentre les càmeres de seguretat seguien avariades per manteniment, la Núria va decidir investigar pel seu compte.En: While the security cameras remained down for maintenance, Núria decided to investigate on her own.Ca: No tenia proves, només registres incomplets i el testimoni dels empleats i visitants.En: She had no evidence, only incomplete records and the testimony of employees and visitors.Ca: El Jordi, un vigilant del museu, estava alterat.En: Jordi, a museum guard, was upset.Ca: La pèrdua del quadre podia posar en dubte la seva professionalitat.En: The loss of the painting could call into question his professionalism.Ca: L'Elena, una guia amb un gran talent per explicar històries, també se sentia responsable.En: Elena, a guide with a great talent for storytelling, also felt responsible.Ca: Tots dos van prometre ajudar la Núria com poguessin.En: Both promised to help Núria as best they could.Ca: La investigació la va portar a diverses pistes mortes fins que, per casualitat, va veure una taca de pintura en l'uniforme d'un empleat de manteniment.En: The investigation led her to several dead ends until, by chance, she saw a paint stain on a maintenance employee's uniform.Ca: Aquella petita pista va encendre les seves sospites.En: That small clue sparked her suspicions.Ca: Amb el cor bategant ràpidament, la Núria va confrontar l'empleat.En: With her heart beating rapidly, Núria confronted the employee.Ca: La tensió va augmentar a la sala d'empleats, però la Núria es va mantenir ferma.En: Tension rose in the employees' room, but Núria stood firm.Ca: Davant de l'evidència, l'empleat va confessar-ho tot.En: Faced with the evidence, the employee confessed everything.Ca: Havia amagat el quadre en un magatzem, planejant robar-lo durant una nit tranquil·la.En: He had hidden the painting in a storeroom, planning to steal it on a quiet night.Ca: Amb determinació i coratge, la Núria va recuperar el quadre desaparegut.En: With determination and courage, Núria recovered the missing painting.Ca: Els directors del museu van expressar el seu agraïment, reconeixent el seu esforç i dedicació.En: The museum directors expressed their gratitude, acknowledging her effort and dedication.Ca: Els visitants van tornar a admirar el quadre tan esperat, mentre els flocs de neu continuaven caient suaument fora.En: Visitors once again admired the long-awaited painting, while snowflakes continued to fall gently outside.Ca: La Núria havia demostrat el seu valor, guanyant respecte i seguretat en el seu lloc de treball.En: Núria had demonstrated her worth, earning respect and security in her workplace.Ca: Aquest Nadal, havia preservat no només una obra d'art sinó també el prestigi del museu, reafirmant la seva passió per preservar la cultura i l'art que tant estimava.En: This Christmas, she had preserved not only a work of art but also the prestige of the museum, reaffirming her passion for preserving the culture and art she loved so much.

Honda and Yamaha used to monopolise the MotoGP title fights. Now they're mocked as having their own ‘Japanese Cup' at the back of the field, as even getting into Q2 feels like a victory given how far they've fallen.All of which must make it tough to be a rider at one of those brands.But when Simon Patterson sat down for exclusive one-on-one interviews with all six Honda and Yamaha riders for The Race MotoGP Podcast, their differing views on their situations shone through.We hear Fabio Quartararo's take on why he stayed at Yamaha even though he often seems to hate its bike, a brutally open Joan Mir on what he's desperate to happen at Honda and Johann Zarco and Luca Marini explaining what they've got out of being part of struggling Honda this year after stepping off frontrunning Ducatis.Plus Alex Rins' take on his fitness battle and Taka Nakagami's reflections on Honda's situation as his full-time racing career ends.Simon, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer share their thoughts on what the sextet had to say, and what the future might hold for all of them.And if you want to hear all six interviews in full and uncut, they're going to be available exclusively to The Race Members' Club.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

De Sitges estant, una revista sacsejà la cultura catalana durant el primer quart del segle XX. La revista fou 'L'Amic de les arts'. Dirigida per Josep Carbonell i Gener, a les seves pàgines es reuniren personalitats com Federico Garcia Lorca, J.V.Foix, Paul Elouard, Magí A.

El piloto español Jorge Martín (Ducati) se ha convertido en campeón del mundo de MotoGP 2024 después de defender su ventaja al frente del Mundial de motociclismo al ser tercero en la última carrera del definitivo Gran Premio Solidario de Barcelona, en la que la victoria no ha bastado al italiano Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) para arrebatarle el título.Con tranquilidad y consciente de que un noveno puesto era suficiente para coronarse, el madrileño rodó sin arriesgar y administró su ventaja al frente de la clasificación sobre 'Pecco' -al que no le llegó con reducir la diferencia de 24 a 10 puntos- para cruzar la línea de meta en tercer lugar, justo por detrás de Marc Márquez (Ducati), que finalizó segundo.Así, Martín se convierte en el quinto español en proclamarse campeón de la categoría reina tras Alex Crivillé (1999), Jorge Lorenzo (2010, 2012 y 2015), Marc Márquez (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 y 2019) y Joan Mir (2020) y logra el duodécimo título para España en la ...

Matt Crawford speaks with Therese Casadesus Rawson about her book, My Musical Notes: A Journey in Classical Piano between the World Wars and Beyond. This is actually her mother's book which she has translated and rereleased on the 25th anniversary of her mother Gaby Casadesus' passing.  Chronicling nearly a century of music, Gaby Casadesus' My Musical Notes, recounts the French pianist's remarkable career as half of one of the most extraordinary husband and wife teams in twentieth century classical music, with her husband Robert Casadesus. Told in a lively conversational tone, she evokes the delicate balance between touring and family life, maintaining her own solo career and traveling the world while raising three children. Her decades-long teaching imparted the stylistic legacy of Debussy, Fauré and Ravel, a personal friend to both Robert and Gaby, to generations of young pianists. In this memoir, we experience the bustling Paris of the 1920s and 30s as well as numerous adventures touring North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia while championing French piano repertoire as the internationally recognized duo Robert and Gaby Casadesus. She also details her encounters and collaborations with the greatest names of 20th century classical music: Fauré, Ravel, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Bruno Walter, Toscanini, Szell, Boulez, Bernstein as well as other celebrities of the era such as Albert Einstein, with whom she played Mozart, Elsa Schiaparelli, Joan Miró and more.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/-gHpO9tjsTE El arte y la literatura tienen el poder de forjar leyendas, construir héroes y cristalizar las aspiraciones de una sociedad. Así lo hizo Baruj Salinas, un pintor cubano que, a pesar de vivir en el exilio durante gran parte de su vida, llevó consigo la esencia de su cubanidad. Nacido en La Habana de una familia judía sefardita, Baruj, a través de su arte, navegó entre los mundos de la arquitectura, la pintura figurativa y el expresionismo abstracto, influido por grandes figuras como Joan Miró y Antoni Tàpies. Baruj no solo creó arte; también fue un maestro dedicado, comprometido con la enseñanza de la pintura. Su legado se extiende más allá de sus cuadros, en las lecciones y la imaginación que transmitió a sus alumnos. En la distancia, desde Miami, su obra resonaba con los ecos de su tierra natal, demostrando que, aunque vivió gran parte de su vida lejos de Cuba, seguía siendo un pintor profundamente cubano. #Cuba #Historia #HistoriadeCuba #cubanosporelmundo #cubanos #cubanosenmiami #cubanosenhouston #cubanosenusa #FidelCastro #ernestomiami #artecubano **** Para más videos VISITA - www.ErnestoMiami.com

BBVA continúa con la actividad expositiva en su histórica sede de San Nicolás en Bilbao, con Surrealismos. La exposición es una propuesta cultural que acerca al público el patrimonio artístico de este banco, en este caso a través del movimiento vanguardista del surrealismo. Entre las piezas presentes cabe destacar el conjunto de grabados de Salvador Dalí pertenecientes a su serie La conquête du Cosmos, la excepcional Serie Mallorca de Joan Miró, o el lienzo La lumière de l‘ombre (La luz de la sombra) de Yves Tanguy. En este 'Hoy por Hoy Bilbao Bizkaia' nos adentramos en la sede que alberga este patrimonio hasta el 22 de septiembre

Líder destacado del Mundial de Moto3 y estrella planetaria en ciernes, el piloto hispano colombiano David Alonso se ha convertido en la gran sensación del campeonato del mundo. A finales de abril cumplió 18 años y pese a su juventud, David Alonso se ha convertido en una de las estrellas del Mundial de Motociclismo, por su talento como piloto, su carácter y personalidad ante los micrófonos, y todo ello solo en su segunda temporada completa en Moto3, campeonato del que ahora mismo es líder destacado y, si no pasa nada extraño, va a encumbrarlo como campeón del mundo. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez, reciben la visita del talentoso corredor del equipo CFMOTO Valresa Aspar Team en el Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas'. Una conversación distendida y sincera en la que nos adentramos en la forma de ser de este jovencísimo muchacho, que deja helada la sangre por la claridad de su forma de pensar y la de actuar para llevarlas adelante. Líder del Mundial de Moto3 con seis victorias y siete podios en las primeras diez carreras de la temporada, David Alonso tiene este año por delante aún otros diez grandes premios para alcanzar algunas metas estadísticas, como la de superar los 10 triunfos de Joan Mir en Moto3 2017, cuando el mallorquín ganó el título y batió el récord de número de victorias en una temporada. O las marcas más antiguas de pilotos como Valentino Rossi, que el año en que fue campeón del mundo de 125cc (1997) logró once triunfos, uno más que el gran ídolo de David Alonso, el ocho veces campeón del mundo, Marc Márquez, que en 2010 ganó el título de 125cc con diez victorias. Unas estadísticas en las que David, asegura, no piensa en absoluto:"Solo me interesa ganar el Mundial, por que es lo único que la gente recordará dentro de unos años".

After Ducati and KTM, it's now Aprilia that can claim it's put together a 2025 MotoGP superteam after securing Marco Bezzecchi alongside Jorge Martin in its all-new factory line-up. But as Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer debate on The Race MotoGP Podcast, while signing the second and third placed riders from the 2023 world championship looks great on paper, there are definite question marks around whether this is all going to work. We also examine all the repercussions elsewhere in the field, from what happens at Aprilia satellite team Trackhouse - whose riders get very different responses from Aprilia boss Massimo Rivola - to whether the exodus of strong satellite riders from Ducati marks a significant end of an era and also why on earth it seems Joan Mir might want to prolong his Honda stint. And the World Superbike Championship has entered the MotoGP rider market in earnest too. Are we going to see Toprak Razgatlioglu or even Andrea Iannone on the 2025 MotoGP grid? And if so, where and how would it go? We give our takes on all of that too.

Well, that took a turn. In one of MotoGP's biggest ever silly-season decisions taken by a factory side, Ducati announced yesterday that Marc Marquez had signed for the factory Ducati team, in a shock reversal from the Bologna factory's higher-ups. According to Autosport and other reports, Championship leader Jorge Martin was offered the seat after the Catalan GP, but Ducati changed their mind when their suggestion to Marquez of joining Pramac was firmly rejected. Marc made a powerplay, forcing Ducati to make a decision, and pulled the trigger on turning Marc, red. As a result, Jorge Martin's now heading to Aprilia, in a shock 24-hour lightning turnaround of a deal. So what does it all mean? Why did Ducati change their minds? Just how good has Marquez been so far? And what does it mean for the rest of the field. Can Jorge Martin bring the #1 plate to Noale? What about the other forgotten man in the field in Enea Bastianini, who looks set to join Tech3 KTM? Will he clash with wonderkid Pedro Acosta? And what about the rest of silly season? Will Ducati lose Pramac as a customer as Yamaha makes a compelling case to buddy up again? Will Trackhouse take Joe Roberts, or someone like Joan Mir? Where do the GP25's end up if Pramac moves? So many questions, so little time on a huge Motorsport101! Oh and the Italian GP was mentioned too! (Special thanks to Lyla Carvallo for the wonderful edit, check her out at @lylasthinking on X)

Ramón Espejo's book The Catalonian Journey of American Drama 1909-2000: From Jimmy Valentine to The Vagina Monologues (Legenda, 2024) delves into the fascinating journey of American drama in Catalonia, exploring how the theatrical output of a world superpower has impacted (and transformed) the stages of an allegedly minor actor in the cultural scene of the 20th century. Yet, while Catalonia is the birthplace of such geniuses as Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí or Antoni Gaudí, it is also that of playwrights Joan Brossa, Manuel de Pedrolo, Fermín Cabal or Jordi Galcerán, among others. All of them grew up in, and imbibed, a theatrescape in which American borrowings were not only habitual (often the only foreign plays around) but inspiring and groundbreaking. If Alias Jimmy Valentine re-defined theatrical decorum in Catalonia in the early 1900s, The Vagina Monologues, in the 1990s, challenged prevalent sexual taboos. Throughout the 20th century, Catalonia went from a peripheral, marginalized region of a once vast empire to a booming and largely autonomous centre of culture, recognized all over the world and admired for its uniqueness and original artistic contributions. American plays accompanied, and often directly inspired, such a journey.

Vuelve el terror de la argentina Mariana Enríquez que publica una serie de cuentos para helarnos la sangre y hacernos apartar la vista de las letras con 'Un lugar soleado para gente sombría', una colección que llega de la mano de Anagrama. Con nuestra especialista en cine, Conxita Casanovas, repasamos la noche de los Premios Oscar en la que la Oppenheimer de Christopher Nolan se llevó 7 estatuillas, una de ellas para su protagonista Cillian Murphy, y en la que los españoles J.A. Bayona y Pablo Berger se volvieron con las manos vacías. Es lunes así que nos visita Inés Martín Rodrigo para abrir su librería de Stars Hollow y con Olga Baeza bailamos los últimos 125 años de la historia de nuestro país con piezas de Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies, Rafael Alberti o Mariano Benlliure. Terminamos con la Pequeteca de Leticia Audibert que trae a Nuria Vidal y su 'Equipo granatensis', dos novelas de misterio y aventuras que triunfan entre los más jóvenes. Para despedirnos recuperamos el recuerdo del 11M interpretado, contado y canalizado a través de la cultura con Iñigo Picabea.Escuchar audio
