The Shakespeare Festival was born in 2003 in Santa Susanna, a small town in the Maresme region.

 

In 2008, the festival moved to Mataro, the capital of the region, where it was held until 2010. In 2013, the 10th Festival will held in the city of Barcelona. The city will host the Shakespeare Festival, although the intention is to spread throughout the Catalan territory.The proposals of the Festival have and will continue to have the desire to produce art, co-produce and show performances around the figure of William Shakespeare.

 

The English author will be the backbone but the formats and prospects may be variable as well.

 

The headquarters of the new festival will be the Library of Catalonia, in the heart of the Raval district, managed by La Perla 29. A Gothic nave with stone walls will become a very special place. The idea is to create a network in the Raval district and other areas that they may also include in the Festival, such as the Romea Theatre, the Film Archive of Catalonia, the Barcelona University, the Centre for Contemporary Culture ...

 

La Perla 29, the theatrical production enterprise directed by Oriol Broggi, Julio Manrique as director of the Romea Theatre, the FOCUS Group and the team that manage the Shakespeare Festival will shape this new version of the Shakespeare Festival that will be presented in the city of Barcelona in 2013.
