Wednesday 20 Nov | 20:00
Presentation of the book “La península de las casas vacías” (The peninsula of empty houses).

Turned into a literary event of first level the novel of David Ucles has become a revelation by forging a magical, overflowing and ambitious and witty look at one of the most important events of this country in the twentieth century.

Here then is the total history of the Spanish Civil War and of an agonizing Iberia where the fantastic underpins the rawness of the real; where the anonymous members of an extensive clan of olive growers of Jándula cross their destinies with those of Alberti, Lorca and Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano and Kent; Hemingway, Orwell and Bernanos; Picasso and Mallo; Azaña and Foxá; where the epic and the costumbrista intertwine to weave a portentous tapestry, poetic and grotesque, beautiful and delirious.

Ye Impro

A prodigy of speed and improvisation, a proposal that has grown to be one of the most celebrated storytelling events we carry out in the world.

Concert of Srta. Trueno Negro

Miss Trueno Negro was formed in the indie scene of the city of La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina) in the 2010s. With three LPs released through Discos Laptra and a split with Carlota edited in Spain by the Valencian label Futuras Licenciadas, Truenito recently released four songs on their EP Misterios de La Plata produced with a new Iberian lineup based in Granada.

Miss Trueno Negro’s style is recognizable by her idiosyncratic singing with asyncopated phrasing and darkly beautiful voice. Her lyrics alternate melancholy and disappointment with moments of restrained euphoria, providing an authentic insight into contemporary uncertainty.

Saturday 23 Nov
13:30 | Presentation of the book “Años de perro” (Dog Years)

Marta García Aller, one of the most agile and acute chroniclers of the journalistic panorama, collects in Años de perro the dizzying political and social changes that we have lived in the last seven years through her journalistic chronicles. Implausible events, multiplied by social networks and muddied by fake news, together with the challenge of artificial intelligence and a glut of information that is difficult to digest. In these accelerated times, the reader will oscillate between disbelief and surprise, in search of certainty.

22:30 | Concert by Timothy C Holehouse
Tim Holehouse is a British musician who plays the blues of Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson along with Folk, Punk and Psychedelia sounds that connect him with Tom Waits, Nick Cave and the most indomitable Stooges. All this in a single personality and with that disturbing aspect of a demented undertaker.

23:15 | Concert by Lewis Mckale
A folk artist based in Spain, his particular storytelling is reminiscent of musicians like Billy Bragg and Nick Drake. In his latest work, Self Help Tape, he offers an intimate and reflective journey.
