Classical Music at MEAM

The works of classical masters, such as Bach and Mozart, are showcased in this series of music performances at MEAM—a museum exhibiting some of the finest artwork in Barcelona. Located in the Born district, MEAM’s concert hall provides a unique setting in which to enjoy a drink and an evening of live music, and there’s also the chance to explore the museum itself.

Un pedacito de mí

Every picture tells a story, or so the saying goes, and some photographs have funnier and more elaborate stories behind them than others. This is the basic idea for Catalan comic actress Neus Sanz’s new show Un pedacito de mí (A little piece of me), in which she brings family photographs to the stage and spins an hour-long monologue from her memories and emotions of the images. Although the poster image of a young Sanz climbing into a rubbish bin is a rather unusual start to the show, laughs and emotion are promised in equal measure as she digs into her family history and those unexpected little moments in life.

Sala Montjuïc

You’ve never seen Hollywood quite like this. Head to the top of Montjuïc, to this open-air cinema set up on the lawn of Montjuïc Castle, and watch your favourite stars in the most magical setting. Whereas the Cinema Lliure a la Platja focuses on independent films, this series will screen recent releases such as Spotlight (2015), The Revenant (2015), The Hateful Eight (2015) and La La Land (2016). Additionally, several older classics such as The Apartment (1960), which won Best Picture at the 33rd Academy Awards, and Manhattan (1979), starring big names such as Woody Allen, Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep, will be shown throughout the month, and the series will conclude with a surprise screening selected by the organisers. Before each screening begins at 10pm, local bands will play to the crowds, beginning at 8.45pm. If you want to check out some of the area’s breathtaking views, you can also purchase a tour of Castell de Montjuïc along with the screening for €10. Afterwards, FX Animation – Barcelona 3D & Film School will host discussions of the films for those still reeling from the action.

Vecinos at Versus Theatre

Don’t miss the Madrid Dance Company as they bring their artistic flair to Barcelona. Combining contemporary dance, poetry and video material with flamenco and a touch of the classical, this musical performance is based on the theme of getting to know your neighbours and the invisible boundaries that exist between people and their connectivity. The production is the brainchild of Carlos Chamorro and Mariana Collado, and will be put on at the Versus Theatre, a venue which prides itself on showcasing original performances often with up-and-coming directors and producers.

Welcome to the Alpha Zone

Each month, Born Chiropractor hosts Intuitive Channeler, Gina Fegali, who will be providing introductory sessions of Alpha Meditation. Alpha Meditation focuses on increasing alpha brain waves, which are enhanced naturally when you close your eyes, daydream or are in a relaxed state. These brainwaves are the first stage of bridging the gap between the subconscious and conscious mind, leading to deeper levels of healing, happiness, creativity, success and improved health. Alpha brainwaves have been known to inspire, through interacting with the subconscious and locating sudden insights and inner creativity. This also promotes the ability to find solutions to problems that are not accessible in a conscious state. Each month,
