On Friday, October 7th, at 8 p.m., the Museum will host the play Agamemnon produced by Teorema Teatre, based on the texts of the Greek lyric poet Iannis Ritsos.

The work narrates the return of Iphigènia to her home after many years of absence. The young woman will go to see the abandoned rooms of her late parents, King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra, where the great tragedy of the Atreans took place. Their presence still resound in the rooms: the words of the father and the powerful looks of the mother.

Ritsos recovers the tragic characters and, through a deep, poetic and committed personal vision, makes them even more universal. We have, on stage, a lesson in humanity where the flaws and virtues of the military are exposed, where we can grasp the validity of the abused concepts of sacrifice, victory, success and old age. Let yourself be carried away by the senses.

In this show you will find the following Ritsos texts, translated by Joan Casas: Agamèmnon (Ἀγαμέμνων, 1970), El retorn d’Iphigènia (Η παραστή της Ιφιγένειας, 1972), Epitaph (Ἐπιτάφιος, 1936). The fragment of Epitaph that you will hear has been translated by Casas expressly for this production.

The Museum offers you this magnificent and accurate review of the history of the main factories of the Badalona seafront such as the Ribó, Domènech and Garriga cordage factories, the Unió Vidriera d’Espanya, the CAMPSA, the CACI, Lorilleux or G. de Andreis M.E., to name only some of them.

Besides the texts, which accompany the exhibition of the same name produced by the Badalona Museum, the publication also includes photographs of some of the most outstanding pieces that can be seen in the exhibition, such as objects, pictures, posters , plans and other documents that bear witness to the factories that were there, many forgotten, and the role they played in turning Badalona into a large production center.

Next week we will restart the cycle of conferences that we have organized around the exhibition The lost factories of the maritime front and that we started on June 2nd with the talk The labor movement before the Civil War, which was offered by Dr. Joan Villarroya and Font.

On Thursday, September 8th, at 7 p.m., we will have the visit of Pier Berglund, agronomist engineer, founder of the company DAC ENVIRO SL who will tell us about The process of decontamination of the maritime front of Badalona.

During the rest of the month and while the exhibition lasts -it ends on Sunday 25th September-, other lectures have been scheduled around industrialization in Badalona and its effects, to which we invite you to join us:

Tuesday September 13th, 7 pm
Poetry recital: La punxada del passat
By Marcel Riera

Thursday September 15th, 7 pm
Lecture: The transformation of the western strip of the maritime front and the projects of the 3 chimneys
By Xavier Salvà i Rafael Argelich, architects

Thursday September 22nd, 7 pm
Lecture: The Industry and the train on the maritime front of Badalona

By Xavier Nubiola, engineer

All activities will take place in the Museum’s auditorium and are free to access until capacity is reached.

From tomorrow, July 20th, the façade of the Museum will be transformed into a privileged window through which, periodically, the most emblematic pieces of the Roman Baetulo will show up. The initiative responds to a new communication strategy in the form of large banners with which it wants to achieve a greater advertising impact with the environment.

The Badalona Museum preserves more than 6,200 registered pieces from the Roman era, of which 800 can be seen in the permanent exhibition Baetulo Ciutat romana. The project we are now presenting will allow some of the most representative objects of this classic legacy to see the light of day and be known to the citizens who pass by the Museum on a daily basis. In this way, the façade of the building becomes a promotional showcase that will arouse the interest of pedestrians and invite them to discover the treasures that the Museum preserves in its subsoil and that represent the historical and patrimonial legacy of one of the most important Roman cities in Catalonia.

For reasons beyond out the Museum’s control, the Duo Enol, which was scheduled to play at the Museum’s Summer Nights at the factory of the Anís del Mono on Friday, July 15th, will not be able to perform. In its place, we will have the presence of the Claret Cello Duo.

This cello duet, formed by the Andorran performers Jordi and Daniel Claret, will present a classical repertoire with an unusual format in the current stages, but which has been very successful with critics and audiences where it has performed thanks, above all, to the his complicity on stage.
