Antic Teatre is an arts resource centre dedicated to research, innovation and the development of new performance and interdisciplinary languages. Eleven years in these pursuits have made it one of the reference points for the city’s independent artistic scene, with regular programming each year of more than 40 shows by local, national and international creators.

Throughout the month of July, Antic Teatre will be taking part in the official programme of the GREC Festival 2014. We wanted to use the opportunity given by our inclusion in this, the biggest performance arts festival in the city, to provide visibility to the work we do each year with various entities and artist collectives. These include: Festival Escena Poblenou, El Graner/Mercat de les Flors, the ARTAS collective (Artists Associated with La Poderosa) and GRUA (Research Group for Artistic Universes); we also wish to highlight the social and community-based artistic projects that we have created together with the institutions and residents of our own neighbourhood.

IN_ Romeríaholds the idea that while we have physical places in which to work we have mental places in which to create, expose and meet. It also suggests the concept of the collective use of public space. On this occasion, IN_Romería was a musical/performance journey by Nilo Gallego, who took us from Espacio Práctico to La Poderosa, from the Ribera neighbourhood to the Raval. And, halfway through the journey, we stopped for a community meal on the Aurora basketball pitch.
