Santiago del Teide will celebrate the first Ruta del Barraquito de Canarias, an initiative that will take place from March 21 to April 3 in different establishments in the municipality and that will be linked to the celebration of the NUDO Festival, Unleashed Poetry Festival, which will take place from March 25 to 27. This literary meeting, which has been taking place in Barcelona for five years, will be held for the first time outside of Catalonia, with the municipality of Santiago del Teide being chosen to carry out its programming.
In the presentation this Wednesday, the mayor of the town, Emilio Navarro, has valued the synergies that are going to be established in this festival from the cultural and commercial point of view. Also present at the presentation ceremony was the Councilor for Culture, Sergio Mendoza; the Councilor for Commerce, Krysten Martín, and the director of the festival and its coordinator, Susana Gutiérrez.
NUDO, unleashed poetry festival is a poetic meeting that shows the contemporary poetic reality without limits of borders or formats. Recitals, screenings, exhibitions, workshops and a poetry walk will be spread over three days in various spaces in Santiago del Teide.
With the purpose of showing and celebrating the unsuspected links between beings and things, between ideas and forms, in its first year in Tenerife, it bets on live shows. Thus, artists will be enjoyed locally (Yeray Barroso, Andrea Abreu, Luis Dı́az, Tebu Guerra) and nationally (Amalia Bautista, Alejandro Simón Partal, María Sotomayor, Jesús Ge, Celia Bsoul and Alexis Dı́az Pimienta), as well as a call to show current poetry in its wealth of languages and formats.
NUDO will offer local and international video poetry in its own show V2 versos&visuals, the visual poetry exhibition La Casa del Poeta, workshops and live poetry shows. It is necessary to highlight the importance that involvement with the local community and participatory activities have for this festival, such as V2, which launches an open call for all audiences, and various activities in which the complicity and adhesion of the people is requested.
