Part of the T\u00e0pies Museum project\u00a0Extramurs\u00a0\u00a02026, curated by Imma Prieto, director of the T\u00e0pies Museum, and Judith Barn\u00e9s, head of public programmes at the museum.<\/em><\/p>\n

Taking the satirical comedy of a disillusioned poet as the starting point, a leading figure in performance art invites us to break down the hierarchy between audience and performance artists in pursuit of the \u201cbug\u201d of our time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In 1929, the futurist poet Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote \u201cThe Bedbug\u201d (published in Spanish as \u201cLa chinche\u201d), a science-fiction story about a Soviet revolutionary who, in 1929, is accidentally frozen along with an insect that parasitises him. Fifty years later, in 1979, both the revolutionary and the insect come back to life.<\/p>\n

Obsessed with this story, Dora Garc\u00eda creates a work of performance art involving seven performers and the audience, imagining a collective author who asks what happens over a fifty-year period, who or what tells what has happened, and who decides which events have transformed the world over that time.<\/p>\n

The piece (which varies in length depending on the space in which it is presented) imagines a story repeated cyclically, a kind of eternal return that, however, contains a flaw, a parasite, an insect, a\u00a0bug<\/em>, that prevents this repetition from unfolding without victims. Each presentation of the performance involves the audience in a different activity: sometimes it is a lecture, sometimes a workshop, or perhaps a dance class or a skating demonstration; and sometimes a play. Here, hierarchies are subverted: between performer and viewer, between those who speak and those who listen.<\/p>\n

El Bicho<\/em>\u00a0(like the\u00a0Corocuerpo,<\/em> performance art piece, also included in the Grec programme) forms part of the T\u00e0pies Museum project\u00a0Extramurs<\/em>, which conceives the city as a space for action and outreach. With a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach, it fosters dialogue between institutions, with public spaces and with the environment. Developed in collaboration with Barcelona\u2019s EINA University School of Art and Design and the Barcelona Grec Festival, among others, the\u00a0Extramurs\u00a0<\/em>project proposes creations and activities that address contemporary needs and encourage new community narratives in urban spaces. It champions the idea of public walls as bearers of city residents\u2019 voices, places where collective narratives take shape and shared experiences are re-signified, connecting directly with T\u00e0pies\u2019 thinking.<\/p>\n

Each annual edition of\u00a0Extramurs\u00a0<\/em>moves from the T\u00e0pies Museum into public spaces in collaboration with the Barcelona Grec Festival and other city institutions. The 2026 edition has invited the artist Dora Garc\u00eda. Dora Garc\u00eda works primarily in the visual arts and occasionally dance and theatre, as well as engaging with social and political contexts. Her work spans literature, film, installation and performance art, and focuses on stories she constructs and stages herself, creating situations designed to engage visitors and create unique, introspective experiences.<\/p>\n

A production by the T\u00e0pies Museum, the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the 2026 Barcelona Grec Festival.<\/em><\/p>\n

Suitable for audiences of all ages.<\/em><\/p>\n
