Arxius is a stage encounter where Marcos Morau and Cesc Gelabert translate the concept of an archive into the physicality of movement. The piece investigates memory through a direct collaboration between both creators, focusing on fragments of personal and bodily histories. The Parròquia de Santa Madrona, in Poble-sec, frames this dialogue where dance becomes a tool to record the passage of time. The performance dissects gesture and traces within the public space.

Poble-sec: Neo-Gothic echoes of urban resilience.
The Parish Church of Santa Madrona stands in Poble-sec as an architectural testament to Neo-Gothic historicism in Barcelona. Opened in 1888 by Regent María Cristina, its stone ashlar façade and Latin cross plan, featuring three naves and a dome over the transept, earned it the moniker "Poble-sec's cathedral". The temple has withstood the city's upheavals, suffering significant damage during the Tragic Week of 1909 and seeing its bell tower's tip amputated in 1937 to avoid serving as a bombing landmark. Beyond its structure, the parish is a bastion of devotion to Santa Madrona, Barcelona's historical co-patron saint, and a pivotal element in the neighborhood's identity.
