PornoBurqa – PornoBurka – Desventuras del Raval y otras f(r)icciones contemporáneas [Misadventures of the Raval and other contemporary f(r)ictions] is a novel ‘on speculated cities and false identities that see burqas in the eyes of others but never the plank in their own’.

Programme
SATURDAY 16 NOVEMBER AT 7pm
Organised by Colectivo Cautivo, within the programme of activities of the Festival Raval(s).
SYNTHESIS
The novel revolves around four characters obsessed by labels and unable to accept their contradictions and multiple inclinations. The stage, the Raval district of Barcelona, emerges as a metaphor for the spectacle as a substitute for life.
