The Department of Culture, through the Catalan Cultural Heritage Agency (ACPC), is organizing the third edition of the Entreveus Festival, a proposal that merges oral storytelling with other artistic disciplines and will have its closing event at the Church of Sant Joan de Boí on Sunday, April 19th.

This cultural initiative, running from April 16th to 19th, will visit four heritage monuments across Catalonia. The closing event in the Vall de Boí will coincide with the celebration of the International Day for Monuments and Sites, held on April 18th, highlighting the value of heritage as a space for dialogue and creation.
Under the artistic direction of Patrícia McGill Ferrari, this year's festival invites attendees to 'have a big celebration' with a program that unites spoken word, music, and movement. The aim is for participants to experience the monuments from an artistic and emotional perspective. All performances are free, but require prior reservation, and include interpretation in Catalan Sign Language.

Rooted in a rural environment 'where the everyday brushes with surrealism,' the two artists bring to the stage stories of oral tradition and their own authorship that connect family memory with the landscape and ways of life.

The closing performance at the Church of Sant Joan de Boí, titled The Persistence of Stones, will be presented by storytellers Noemí Caballer and Mon Mas. This proposal will highlight the power of narrated stories and their deep connection to the territory, in an intimate dialogue with one of the most emblematic Romanesque ensembles in the country.
The Entreveus Festival takes place in four monuments managed by the ACPC: the Palau Moja in Barcelona, the Canònica de Santa Maria de Vilabertran (Girona), the Reial Monestir de Santes Creus (Camp de Tarragona), and the Church of Sant Joan de Boí (Alta Ribagorça). In all these spaces, oral storytelling acts as the central thread, transforming the monuments into living stages where word, body, and music interact with architecture and memory.
