A vital and emotional map of the city of Barcelona
In a world in crisis dominated by fear, individualism and conflicts, the wide range of stories we live with today in Barcelona lead us to search for a new us; we gather around a bonfire that connects Catalonia with Africa, Latin America, Asia and the world. It is a bonfire that calls on the future.
Cities do not exist. Cities are a performance repeated, day after day, by more or less the same people; they are bonfires that glow with stories, dreams and asymmetrical relationships; without people, the city is just a meaningless backdrop.
In What The Foc?!, seventeen artists invite us to tour Barcelona through the steps and their meanings in a letter of love, beauty, anger, rhythm and lots of movement. A performance in the depths of the abyss. Exciting, witty, erotic, unpleasant and beautiful. Who will dare to pass through this bonfire at the risk of being devoured?
