Don't miss a single one
Some cultural recommendations for next week
The week begins with Cati Moyà
I will do big party because I'll finally be able to see on the big screen the movie that I've been waiting for for months to be released: One battle after another, the latest film from my favorite director, Paul Thomas Anderson. Expectations are very high, but Paul Thomas Anderson never fails: we're talking about the man responsible for masterpieces of contemporary cinema such as Wells of ambition, The invisible thread and MagnoliaIn this case, he adapts a work by Thomas Pynchon again, as he did in Pure vice, and it does so with a cast that includes Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a former revolutionary who faces the kidnapping of his daughter with his former comrades. Available September 27 at CineCiutat.
I will discover, Finally, the content of the series The Brawler, a previously unpublished project directed in 1985 by Giuseppe Tornatore, the director of Cine ParadisoForty years later, the five episodes filmed about the life of Raffaele Cutolo, one of the most influential bosses in the history of the Italian mafia, premiere. Starting Thursday, October 2, on AMC+.
I will pass A good part of the weekend at INNSiDE Calvià Beach in Magaluf, to hear reflections from authors such as Siri Hustvedt, Pedro Mairal, and Dolores Reyes at the 5th edition of FLEM, which will also feature Mallorcans Antònia Vicens and Antoni Vidal Ferrando. From October 2nd to 5th.
I will listen Saint Etienne's latest album, International, the twelfth on the one hand that 35 years after its debut continues to set the pace of British indie with melodies as fresh as they are delicious.
I will go Wherever the first concert of the second season of the TanAProp series, organized by Pecan Pie, is scheduled to take place, to hear whoever is set to star in it: it's a series in which venues and musicians become last-minute surprises for attendees. In this case, so far, the only announcement has been that it will be in Marratxí and with an artist who, despite coming "from very far away," will only offer this concert in Mallorca. Friday, October 3 at 8 p.m.
The week begins with JA Mendiola
I will recommend Two plays that have already been part of their run, but which are worth missing during this break in the Feria B. Both at the Teatro Principal de Ciutat. The first, The last six days, by Marta Barceló, directed by Xavi Núñez and Joan M. Albinyana, and starring Alexandra Palomo, Carme González, Karen Codina and Sergio Baos. The return of three siblings to the family home to accompany their mother in the final moments of her life. The second, Chocolate, by Rafael Gallego, starring Luca Bonadei, Toni Gomila, and Lluqui Herrero, bringing to life the character who died under mysterious circumstances at the age of thirteen. Thursday, October 2 and Friday, October 3, at 9 p.m.
I'll see, also within the framework of the B Fair, The coward, written and directed by Toni Gener, and starring Rodo Gener, tells a story that took place in Ciutadella in 1558 and serves as a reflection on everything happening in Gaza, Ukraine, Yemen, Somalia, and so many other places where terror and devastation reign. Saturday, October 4, at 8:30 p.m.
I will buy and I will read The pawn, by Paco Cerdà, among many other things because it's a story that touches us all, that of the Mallorcan Arturito Pomar, the chess master. A legend that Franco's regime turned into a toy broken into a thousand pieces. Published by Ara Llibres.
I'll start The Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra's season kicks off at the Paseo Marítimo Auditorium with a concert that, in some ways, gives a true insight into the ensemble. He will accompany pianist Davide Cabassi, under the baton of principal conductor Pablo Mielgo, performing works by Turina, Falla, Debussy, and Richard Strauss. Thursday, October 2, at 8 p.m.
Delay A tribute to one of the great ladies of Mallorcan theatre, by watching the documentary dedicated to her by Nova Televisió, produced by IB3. Everyone knows who Maruja Alfaro i Brenchat is, the star of many unforgettable evenings, both with Xesc Forteza and with her own company, Zanoguera-Alfaro. But she was also a curious woman. She loved everything: painting, acting, writing... leaving a couple of works published and others only performed, in addition to participating in more than seventy productions. It will be at the Teatro Principal de Ciudad. Tuesday, September 30, at 8 p.m.
