Screening of Fils d'oblit (Francesca Llopis, 2011) and practice around poems by Maria Mercè Marçal and touch.

In Fils d'oblit (2011), Francesca Llopis kneels before the impure, obscene, mortal body –as the voice reciting Maria Mercè Marçal in Fils d'Oblit says–. Cos meu, què em dius? And the body appears fragile, at the same time empowered. Flesh, skin and scar. A zip of poorly closed flesh, yet immovable. Immovable. Breathing, pleasure, stopping, skin, illness, breathing, pleasure, stopping.

The video will be accompanied by an intervention by blanca arias, curator of the Hamaca cycle, who will weave connections between Francesca Llopis's piece and the poetry of Maria Mercè Marçal, from which Fils d'oblit takes its inspiration.

Thinking the voice from a haptic sensibility, we will rehearse ways of caressing, holding or scratching with the word. Understanding skin not as a limit, but as a porous and permeable membrane, we will ask ourselves: How to make a place for the poem in the fold?
