The Monster's Smile: Joan Baixas in conversation with Aura Satz
The theatre director, poet and painter Joan Baixas will talk about his project Mori el Merma, with which his theatre company La Claca collaborated with Joan Miró. Inspired by Miró's drawings of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi, Baixes and Miró together painted the puppets for the show. It was first performed in 1978 and revived in 2006 at Tate Modern, entitled Merma Never Dies. Alongside the writer and artist Aura Satz, Baixas will talk about the political atmosphere of the 1970s and the role played by art in the theatre. As part of the event, Baixas will give a performance in tribute to Joan Miró.
