Temporada Alta has raised the curtain in Barcelona with the emergence of *Flaix de tardor – BCN*, an autumn treat full of vibrant theater, dance and contemporary creation that threatens to be a well-deserved addition to the city’s already bustling cultural offerings. Backed by the Generalitat de Catalunya and Barcelona City Council, this new project is injecting life and diversity into the local cultural scene, while opening the doors to an international showcase. But what does this new cultural child have in store for the city?
A scenic kaleidoscope
In this first edition, for three weeks, the stage lights will gather flashes from places as distant as Argentina, Belgium, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Italy and Germany. *Alain Platel*, *Romina Paula*, *Gabriel Chamé*, *François Gremaud*, *Tim Etchells*, *Toni Servillo*, *William Forsyth* and *Thomas Hauert* are in the stellar lineup that promises to turn Barcelona into a sanctuary of creativity.
The main purpose of Flaix de tardor – BCN is to *complement the theatrical ecosystem* of the city, offering international stage proposals that will resonate beyond the Grec. This new model of activity aims to nourish the fertile ground of local culture, providing a program with its own stamp and defined identity.
Coverage of alliances and collaborations
Important is not only what is offered, but *how it is constructed*. Temporada Alta has managed to join forces between the local government and the most prestigious theaters in Barcelona, such as the Teatre Lliure, the National Library of Catalonia, the Joan Brossa Foundation, Villarroel, the Goya Theater and Mercat de les Flors, a master plan of alliances to create this event. Beyond five theaters, it is a network that unites multiple cultural nodes, broadening the spectrum.
Each of these stages will become a bastion of innovation thanks to the likes of *Toni Servillo*, bringing the Divine Comedy to bold contemporaneity, and *William Forsythe*, whose Dresden Frankfurt Dance Company is set to impress with a choreographic program that will push traditional boundaries.
Diversification is the key word
Barcelona, already known for its solid stage scene, is now looking to *diversify and expand*, and this initiative is the perfect answer. From June 13, tickets will go on sale, inviting the public to be part of a cycle that promises to cross borders and follow the course of other European capitals such as Brussels, Lisbon or Lyon.
With the arrival of Flaix de tardor – BCN, Temporada Alta reaffirms its role as *cultural ambassador*, promoting the connection between Barcelona and the world. The eclecticism of these shows raises not only the spirit of the audience, but also the international profile of the city.
Temporada Alta: a festival with history
With more than three decades of experience, Temporada Alta is not a newcomer in the cultural field. Founded in both Girona and Salt, it has grown consistently, collaborating with localities such as Figueres, Torroella de Montgrí, and Bescanó, to become a benchmark in Catalan creation. Barcelona had been merely a flicker in its current kaleidoscope, until now.
For the first time, the festival launches with programming that elevates Barcelona to new heights, a key symbol of the *positive local impact* that a global vision can offer. The numbers speak for themselves: over 66,000 spectators in 2024, an international resonance that has taken the festival as far as Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Lima. And now, Barcelona comes alive with the promise of bringing together the best of both worlds.
A flight of global breadth
The intention is clear: to unite the local and the global in a perfect cultural pairing. * Flaix de tardor – BCN* not only seeks to stimulate the senses, but also to weave an *international network* that strengthens ties, recognizing diversity as a valuable asset. Temporal Alta, with its more than thirty years of history and hundreds of cultural bridges already established, builds a new bridge to the artistic heart of Barcelona.
In short, this initiative will not only enrich the city’s cultural offerings but will transform the perspective with which this modern mosaic of talents is conceived. A delight for the senses and a feast for the mind, this new wave of culture invites everyone to immerse themselves in an autumn to remember.
