Using lyrical movement and clever projections, a solo dancer (Sarah Anglada) discovers stories on the doors of a wardrobe, upon the covers of a bed and even in the opening of a drawer in MINIMÓN, which directly translates to “small world.” Created by Barcelona-based Mons Dansa (formerly known as Nats Nus Dansa), this dance piece specially created for one- to four-year-olds ends with a treat for young theatergoers who are invited to explore the set and participate in guided activities with the dancer following the performance.

More than a century after Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí began working on The Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, La Sagrada Familia remains under construction. Originally situated on the outskirts of the city, La Sagrada Familia today serves as the enduring symbol of Barcelona. But unlike the Eiffel Tower or Brooklyn Bridge, Barcelona's icon is still a work in progress and a magnetic center of spiritual life.
