Dramawalker Poblenou Tour

Before the walk, on 14 July, there will be a public presentation of the project in Parc Central del Poblenou (6 p.m.).

Dramawalker is a project designed to create geolocalised sound fictions, as a living memory of cities, promoted by the Centro Dramático Nacional in collaboration with the Sala Beckett, Grupo Chévere and the Centro Dramático Galego (Xunta de Galicia). The raw material of the programme is provided by the stories told by the neighbourhood residents. Based on meetings with the programme playwrights, a series of sound fictions have been created that come to life interactively as people walk through the streets featured.

In Barcelona, the project is focused on the Poblenou neighbourhood. Dramawalker Poblenou seeks to bring together the stories of the residents of this Barcelona neighbourhood, where the industrial past and a well-established association network coexist with avant-garde artistic and cultural projects. Through a participatory process, the creators Roc Esquius, Sílvia Navarro, Oriol Puig, Mercè Sarrias and Joan Yago have explored the memory of the neighbourhood and its residents to reconstruct the stories concealed in its streets.
