CaixaForum has organized jazz concerts, workshops, and magic shows as part of its “Summer Nights” program, which will take place every Thursday in July.
The themed nights will begin on July 2 with ‘Jazz and Movement Night,‘ when jazz singer Leïla Duclos will take the main stage at CaixaForum.
According to the La Caixa Foundation, she will give a concert that combines Gypsy jazz, vocal improvisation, swing, and poetic expression in a vocal improvisation “in the purest style of Ella Fitzgerald.”
Additionally, the center will also host the show ‘VEN’, the first piece created by the dance duo Caterina Varela and Alexis Fernández, better known as La Macana, and a jam session organized by Factoria de Músics, a school based in Mallorca.
Additionally, multidisciplinary dancer Júlia Ortínez will lead a tap dance workshop that doesn’t require special shoes.
The “Summer Nights” series will continue on July 9 with “Circus and Games Night,” especially for families, featuring shows, concerts, and workshops where participants can practice their coordination, dexterity, and flexibility.
CaixaForum will host “Embolic,” a show by Pau Palaus in which he plays a clown who avoids words and communicates solely through gestures and glances. The swing band Monkey Doo will also perform, and there will be a body percussion workshop led by Enric Pizà.
With the goal of focusing on the world of the circus, a children’s sensory attraction will open and a circus disciplines workshop will be held, led by Los Herrerita.
On July 16, it will be the turn of ‘Swing Night’, with performances by trumpeter and vocalist Kevin Louis, as well as the ‘Solo Jazz’ workshops by Emilie Orero, the individual swing dance workshop led by Basilio González and Anna Subirana, and the handkerchief dance workshop led by Anna-Katharina Schulze.
‘Night of Magic and Objects’ will conclude the summer program on July 23 with an evening for families, featuring the magic shows ‘Eclipse,’ by Léo Rousselet, and ‘Everything is Written,’ by Joan Cassanyes. Pere Rafart and Enzo Lorenzo will also participate, while Javier Díez will lead a workshop on the theremin.
All of these proposals will complement the center’s current exhibitions, ‘Colors of the World’ and ‘Zuolaga and Anglada-Camarasa: Two Visions of Modernity’.
