La ciudad de las luces muertas

The light disappears in Barcelona for an entire day, both natural and artificial. Only a subtle, mysterious glow and the flickering light of fire survive. The Barcelonas that have existed converge and overlap in the same place: vanished buildings reappear, and new ones from the future emerge. In this territory where times and perspectives that should never have met coexist, the city is overwhelmed by all its eras. The event will bring a handful of writers and artists back to life, leading to improbable encounters. Picasso will make Simone Weil weep, and Cortázar will paint Laforet's portrait; Gaudí will varnish passersby; Bolaño will anticipate his death; García Márquez will flee in a boat, and George Orwell will protect Montserrat Caballé, Núria Espert, and Jordi Savall from the projectiles of war. In the midst of this rupture of time, a photographer capable of revealing with his camera what has not yet happened, and many other characters will join their arts to try to understand what has happened and how to recover the lost light.
