In a sector shaped by the constant pressure to produce, IF Barcelona revisits works, reconnects with artists, supports creative processes and strengthens a growing network of venues and collaborators. It is a commitment to <strong>artistic sustainability<\/strong> and a form of resistance to relentless production. The aim is not merely to showcase these performing arts practices, which remain underrepresented in established circuits, but to <strong>build the space, relationships and community they need to continue developing and establishing themselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout November, this approach takes shape in a programme of national and international projects aimed at adult audiences and audiences of all ages. The festival will present <strong>24 performances, including 6 by international companies, and 3 workshops, 2 of them also led by international companies<\/strong>. With <strong>6 premieres<\/strong>, this edition reinforces IF Barcelona\u2019s role as a platform that gives visibility to new work by its resident artists and welcomes pieces just beginning their journey, while also revisiting previously premiered works and supporting their continued development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PERFORMANCES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Brossa<\/strong> hosts two of the most prominent international productions in this twelfth edition: <em>Il Terzo Reich<\/em>, by <strong>Romeo Castellucci<\/strong>, and the wild, irreverent <em>Epidermis Circus<\/em>, by the Canadian company <strong>SNAFU<\/strong>. At the same venue, <strong>V\u00edctor Colmenero<\/strong> premieres <em>Se necesita un pantal\u00f3n<\/em>, a contemporary reinterpretation of an <strong>unpublished text by Ram\u00f3n G\u00f3mez de la Serna<\/strong>. Thanks to <strong>Joan Gil<\/strong>, who gave the artist access to the text, the project brings this work back to life and explores its resonance in the present. Audiences can also discover <em>Recreativos Federico<\/em>, by <strong>Alex Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>, an installation featuring seven arcade machines that transforms the world of Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca into a space of play, humour and poetry, offering an ironic take on the consumption of artistic heritage.<\/p>\n<p>The programme also continues the festival\u2019s relationships with artists who return to share new creations and research. This is the case of <strong>S\u00f2nia G\u00f3mez<\/strong>, who presents <em>ELK<\/em> at the <strong>Mercat de les Flors<\/strong>, and <strong>Kotomi Nishiwaki and Francisco Camacho<\/strong>, who bring their new creation, <em>Emerging Still<\/em>, to <strong>La Caldera<\/strong>. At the <strong>Antic Teatre<\/strong>, <strong>AzkonaToloza &amp; amigues<\/strong> present <em>Un d\u00eda de veinticinco horas<\/em>, an approach to <em>Entre Oc\u00e9anos y mares<\/em> that offers audiences the opportunity to discover a work in progress. The programme also features the premiere of <em>Ghost in the Machine<\/em>, by <strong>Karla Kracht<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The festival\u2019s international dimension extends to the <strong>Teatre Sagarra in Santa Coloma de Gramenet<\/strong>, which hosts the <strong>International Glove Puppet Day: From Tradition to Contemporaneity<\/strong>. Facilitated by <strong>Toni Rumbau<\/strong>, the event brings together <em>Tre servi alla prova<\/em>, by <strong>I Burattini di Mattia<\/strong> (Italy), and <em>Petites histoires sans paroles<\/em>, by <strong>L\u2019Alin\u00e9a<\/strong> (France), to explore the renewal of glove puppetry in contemporary performance.<\/p>\n<p>In El Prat de Llobregat, <strong>Teatre L\u2019Artes\u00e0<\/strong> presents <em>Antipodi<\/em>, by the Italian company <strong>Dromosofista<\/strong>, and <em>Poemas dentales<\/em>, by Chilean artist <strong>Javier Mansilla<\/strong>, while <strong>La Capsa<\/strong> hosts <em>Mapa can\u00edbal<\/em>, by Colombian artist <strong>Maria Camila Sanjin\u00e9s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The festival also expands its network of collaborations with alternative venues: <strong>Llibreria La Social<\/strong> presents <em>Vida y muerte del Dr. Fausto<\/em>, by <strong>Colectivo Patillas Black<\/strong>, and <strong>Sala Taro<\/strong> hosts <em>Jrap \u00e0 poil<\/em>, by <strong>Xavier Michel<\/strong>, as part of the <strong>4&#215;4<\/strong> series.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:

Connected to the festival programme, these meetings will encourage professional exchange and strengthen the international profile of artists from the region.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will include international professionals such as <strong>Ivo Bari\u0107, Yolanda Cesta Cursach, Nathalie Elain and Tim Sandweg<\/strong>, alongside a talk by <strong>Daniel G.

On <strong>14 November<\/strong>, at the <strong>Fundaci\u00f3 SGAE<\/strong>, the focus will be on art, otherness and collaboration in the context of a hyperconnected society. Finally, on <strong>15 November<\/strong>, the <strong>Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Brossa<\/strong> will host a collective account of the meetings\u2019 reflections and experiences.
