Words of Love

In April 2023, I was invited to create a project about LOVE, which would be presented the following year at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya as part of the Festival ZIP. I decided to organise an action in the form of a recital of love poems, written and read out by people who at one time or another in their lives had assassinated, inflicted violence or risked their lives in the name of some ideal of love.

    I sought out the different participants and invited them to write a poem or a story about their passion, precisely about that moment when a certain notion of love, and its reverse, come together. I asked them to do it without filters and without censorship. And so they did.

     I titled the action “Paraules d’Amor” and it took place on April 13, 2024.

    On November 14, 2024, I reactivated the action at the public presentation of my new video “Paraules d’amor. Un assaig sobre les passions,” at Fabra i Coats Art Center, allowing me to further expand the research on human passions and those acts committed in the name of love.”
