Barribrossa 2012. Dau al Set
Continuing in its efforts to recover the avant-gardes and other significant artistic movements of the twentieth century from the perspective of the present, the 2012 Barribrossa festival presents three multidisciplinary mise-en-scènes of the second Catalan avant-garde, Dau al Set (1947-1955).
The Civil War was a harsh blow for the avant-garde Catalan art of the time, which had made great progress during the Second Republic. In the years following the war, a group of young artists including Joan Brossa, Modest Cuixart, Joan Ponç, Arnau Puig, Antoni Tàpies and Joan-Josep Tharrats picked up the thread that had been cut short by the war. In 1948, they launched the magazine Dau al Set, which became a hub and a breeding ground for the visual, philosophical and poetic creativity of its members.
