2019 will mark the 43rd Grec Festival de Barcelona. Every summer this event, which brings together theater, music, dance, and the circus, once again dominates the calendars of both locals and visitors. The foremost cultural event for the capital city is coming once again to bring a breath of fresh air with its original offerings in the theater arts. Where? Largely at the Teatre Grec in Montjuïc, although there are several other participating venues. Did you know that the Teatre Grec is only a few steps away from our design hotel in Montjuic?

Although the Grec Festival began a few days ago, it is truly just getting started. If you’re still not sure whether to attend, we’ll give you 5 great reasons not to miss the 43rd edition of this event, which lasts the entire month of July.

1. In the theater category, this edition includes Jerusalem, a work that refuses to be ignored. Celebrated both in the West End and on Broadway, it draws a portrait of old England with an exceptional protagonist in a piece that considers the purpose of utopias. But that isn’t the only master work on display: Tan poca vida and Las Feres de Shakespeare are also not to be missed.
2. For dance, his edition offers a magnificent opportunity to vibe along with the work of the Sydney Dance Company. Ab [intra] invites you on a journey through human existence against minimalist scenery and a cello melding with energetic electronic atmosphere.
3. In the music category, bands like The Matthew Herbert Brexit Big Band will give you chills. But they’re not the only ones: Toquinho, Sílvia Pérez Cruz y Javier Colina, and Niño de Elche are other standouts.
4. When it comes to film, the Grec Festival will put on screenings including Goodfellas, from Martin Scorsese, and Green Book, which won the 2019 Oscar for Best Picture.
5. New for this year’s festival, there will be an area known as #GrecJove, a space specially geared to younger audiences. There will be shows directed at teens and young people from 13 to 20, as well as workshops, talks, and other activities.
