The culture that works for vacations: all the plans of this August

Culture does not rest. Neither in August. These are the proposals that offered a month that in any case was an absolute synonym for such a vacation. Activities in museums, theaters, cinemas, libraries and festivals are part of the agenda this weekend and all enter the school year. La Vanguardia compiles suggestions to withstand the heat wave. Many times with cultural institutions literally converted into real climate shelters.

MUSEUMS

The large exhibition centers bring together a good range of temporary exhibitions and current programming. The CCCB supports shows with the totem of the comic Chris Ware the night cinema of the Ganduls – films with Eden , by Mia Hansen- Love (demà) –, free family cinema for all the dissabtes at 17 hours and also a space for children and children from 0 to 10 years old and families to rest, draw, play or watch movies. In addition, the center will be at its French viewpoint on August 17, 24 and 31 all day.

At the Macba there are shows by Carlos Motta and Coco Fusco and at the MNAC at the end of mid-September there are shows by Francesc d'Assís Galí and Eugènia Balcells. In the KBr there are great photographic exhibitions by Edward Weston and the photojournalist of turbulent times Joan Andreu Puig Farran. CaixaForum dedicates a large exhibition to Rubens and the artists of the Baroc Flamenc and offers family workshops. And CosmoCaixa's Cosmonits programs a window of nighttime options with games, puzzles and cinema. The Art Nou Festival makes emerging art shine in Barcelona and Hospitalet.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES

The immersive world is multiplied throughout the city. Antarctica experience , at the dome of the Arenas shopping centre, takes the visitor to the Pol Sud. Another interesting journey is the one that takes Petra: the glory of the Nabateus , at the Reial Cercle Artístic. Feel free to leave the successful Titanic exhibition – in l'Espai Immersa –, which included 200 objects rescued from the shipwreck; or l'Univers Goya, at the Center d'Art Amatller, dedicated to the painter.

CINEMA

For lovers of set art, the large screens provide light with offers ranging from the rooftop from the Palace hotel to the Pavelló Messes van del Rohe passing through the Finestrelles Shopping Centre, to Esplugues, which runs from September 13 to September 13 every year, showing family cinema with Buffalo Kids or Vaiana . The Cerdanya Film Festival offers its various curtmetratges from the end to August 17. At the Filmoteca de Catalunya you will be able to taste essential films by Truffaut, Cukor and Vera Chytilová, as well as films such as La Habitacion del Costat and Hit Man .

LIBRARIES

Libraries are full of ideas to disconnect. Reading clubs or trips to other cultures, as proposed by Gabriel García Márquez with his second cycle of migrant music that the Argentine guitarist Luciana Jury has as a guest. For the centenary of Ana María Matute, the Jaume Fuster library traces its life with an exhaustive exhibition.

THEATRE

The theater scene vessa comèdia. The Gaudí Theater presents Els Plans , which dissects family life, and No calç anar a l'Havana , which recalls the summer nights. More entertainment with the improvised comedy Biopic , in l'Espai Texas, which also included The Prince of Archimedes , by Josep Maria Miró, one of the greatest hits of current Catalan theater. The rialles are assured with Juan Dávila at the Teatre Victòria i amb l'Improsummershow at the Teatreneu. Muntaner also plays improvisation with Cut the Vermell Cable, a spectacle that devastates.

For the nostàlgics, the Apollo serves as a stage for a tribute to Abba and the celebration of the music of the 80s and 90s. Dues dons lluiten contra l'adversitat Fisterra , by Ferran González, at the Versus Glòries room, which commemorates the 20 years of Apunta Teatre amb els seus Nits de Serrallonga ends to September 6. I from August 29 to 31, the Sala Fènix program Amalia i el riu , the real story of Antonia La Lirina, a dona who is going to cry in her right to work in Franco's masclist Spain. The Australian Jim Jefferies will terrify at the Coliseum with an irreverent xou on August 30.

MUSIC

There are no music festivals this summer. The Porta Ferrada is one of the great places on the Costa Brava. At the end of August 20, Guitarricadelafuente, Els Pets or Rosario will parade through Sant Feliu de Guíxols, which will also visit the Occident Summerfest Cerdanya (from August 19 to 29) at the cost of Sopa de Cabra and Antonio Orozco.

Cap Roig is another event this season. At the end of August 18, Amaral, Els catarres, Michael Bublé and Joan Dausà will bid on the stage. In the Barraques de Sitges expect thousands of spectators for the gaudir of a cartel led by Buhos. For jazz fans, the Jamboree offers live music and improvisation in The Jazz room.
