What are you going to do this weekend? If you’ll be in Salamanca then surely you’ve got a lot planned? There’s so
Cultural Schedule
much to do! In fact for the whole month, you could do something different every day and never be bored!
Divers
If you’re into art, then there’s a selection of new exhibitions starting in DA2. Though you’ll have to wait until the 30th March, the exhibition “Artic Hysteria” is definitely worth the wait. New and up and coming artists, as well as some very well known ones, all from Scandinavia, will be displaying their work, all of which is a little strange and challenges our conception of utopia, the future, dreams, failure and the paranormal. Fear, solitude and conflicts in the state of mind play a central theme in this exciting exhibition which is as unique as it is stunningly memorable.
The white rabbit??
Staying with the art theme, there are some other exhibitions starting in DA2 (a venue with a story itself! It used to be a jail!). Juan Zamora’s “Where one sun” will be there until 2nd May – a strange collection of controversial cartoons, composed using materials as basic as pen and pencil. Also in DA2 is “Merrie Melodies“, a drawing and video exhibition from a collection of artists from 1931-1969, the Golden Age of animation for children. Telling stories through drawings, these iconic pictures will certainly make for a good afternoon’s entertainment!
If you’re more interested in music, however, then a concert of Estopa, on their Gira X tour, will surely appeal! They’ll be coming to the Multiusos Sanchez Paraíso venue on the 26th March and for 25 Euros, you can go see them. With a new style, their music is upbeat and you’ll certainly recognise a few songs from the radio and nights out in Spain.
In fact it’s a busy month for music in Salamanca – as well as Estopa, Bilbao’s Fito & Fitipaldis will also be coming to the Multiusos venue. Hits include “Antes de que cuente a diez” and they currently hold more than four months in the top ten of top sellers. Furthermore, they’ve been nominated as the “best rock album” and some recent music awards! High praise, no?
Tricicle
For something a little quieter, however, then why not see what’s new in theatre? On Friday and Saturday 9th and 10th of April, the Garrick tricicle will be coming to the CAEM. For only 16 Euros, you can enjoy a great comedy. David Garrick is an English 18th century actor, so talented in comedy that doctors recommended his acts as a magic remedy! It is said now that children laugh up to three hundred times per day, whilst adults laugh only 15 times! Something we have to change! So go and see Joan Garcia, Paco Mir and Carles Sans in this briliant comedy act and have some fun!
