Pierre Berlan presents a literary café session tracing the long and intertwined cultural history of France and Spain across the Pyrenees.
The talk ranges across the arts: from painters Goya and Picasso, to composers Hugo and Manuel de Falla, and from Bizet's Carmen and Corneille's Le Cid to performers such as Victoria Abril and Olivia Ruiz.
The session aims to highlight the mutual influences that have shaped both societies over centuries, weaving together threads of music, literature, visual art and popular culture.
