Don't miss a single one

PalmI will go to the Plaza Mayor in Palma to experience a unique, historic, and who knows if unrepeatable moment: the simultaneous singing of La Balanguera throughout Mallorca, organized by the Obra Cultural Balear as part of the centenary of Joan Alcover's death. The event will also be doubly extraordinary, as it will take place exactly one hundred years after the premiere of the musical version of the poem, which was first performed on May 29, 1926, at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona. Friday, May 29, at 8 p.m.

I will listen to the personal testimony of the writer Marta Jiménez Serrano, who has captured the chilling experience she lived – she and her partner were close to dying from a carbon monoxide leak in their home – in the book Oxygen. The author will be in Palma to present it, at the Rata Corner bookstore, accompanied by Lucas Sánchez. Wednesday, May 27, at 7 p.m.

I will watch the second season of a series that did not convince me during the first, The Four Seasons, but which still features two of my favorite actors: Tina Fey and Steve Carell. On Netflix, starting Thursday, May 28.

I will try to arrive on time at the Principal Theater in Inca to attend the concert by Ànima Gospel, which premieres a new director, Jordi Cardona, to benefit the children of Gaza. Friday, May 29, at 8:30 p.m.

I will applaud every single phrase that Ferran Pi, Vicenç Calafell, and Àngel Exojo, that is, Fades, utter in the opening speech of the new edition of the Palma Book Fair, which is repeating its location in Plaza de España after last year's success. Having Fades give the starting gun will set the tone for an edition that will feature Yunez Chaib, Laia Malo, and Pere Estelrich, among many others. The fair, by the way, will be open until Sunday, June 7. Friday, May 29, at 6:30 p.m.

I will envy the Menorcans who will be able to see on the big screen one of the films by one of those filmmakers who laid the foundations for the cinephilia of many fans of the seventh art: Akira Kurosawa. In this case, to close the season of the Classic Film Cycle, the Cineclub Ciutadella has chosen the film Yojimbo, where the arrival of a mysterious samurai puts two rival gangs in the same place in a tight spot. It will be at the Born Theater, Tuesday, May 26, at 8:30 p.m.

I will return to the cinema and I will do so both to see how the couple formed by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, protagonists of El drama, works, and to know, above all, if the story the film tells works as well as it is shown in the trailer. It all starts with an apparently innocent game between couples a few days before weddings that will shake the relationships of the participants, especially the idyll between the characters played by the two actors. In Aficine cinemas, starting Friday, May 29.

I will discover one of the texts by the playwright from Pollença Alexandre Ballester, Un baúl amarillo para Nofre Taylor, thanks to the production by the Principal de Palma theatre with Miquel Àngel Torrens and Luca Bonadei among the protagonists. Thursday, May 28, and Friday 29 at 8 p.m. and Saturday 30 at 7 p.m.

I will visit the new exhibition at La Llotja, a space that in recent times has hosted works by Joan Miró and Jaume Plensa, among others. Now it is the turn of Katharina Grosse, an artist capable of turning any stage into a pictorial space, as she will also do at La Llotja with Raíces, a project curated by David Barro, director of the Es Baluard museum. Open to the public from Thursday, May 28.

I will take the enthusiastic recommendation of the bookseller Laia Alegret, from Drac Màgic, and I will read Principio, medio, fin, the latest book by Mexican Valeria Luiselli which Angle Editorial has just published in Catalan.
