Lacrima is a theatre piece written and directed by Caroline Guiela Nguyen that explores intimacy from within a Parisian sewing workshop tasked with creating a royal wedding dress. The work unfolds as a multilingual ecosystem where French, Tamil, English, and sign language coexist to tell the story. The production features voice-overs from Louise Marcia Blévins, Béatrice Dedieu, and David Geselson. A work that examines the construction of desire and memory through a staging that runs for 175 minutes.
The Planns tip

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.
