TEMPO DE MAGOSTOS

The Centre for Galician Studies is organizing in collaboration with the Centre for Portuguese Studies a special activity for its students. We are going to celebrate one of the most popular traditions in Galicia and Portugal: o Magosto.

NÓMADE

The Centre for Galician Studies is pleased to invite you to a very special event. The Galician poet María Rosendo Priego and the Galician musician Mano Panforreteiro will treat us to a unique experience of poetry, music and unspeakable images.

NÓMADE is a poetry recital in which Feminism and Theatre walk hand in hand.

Please come and join us next Monday 19th November at 2.15 pm at the Barber Concert Hall (The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham).

Everybody is welcome!

Arriya (The Stone)

“A place in the frontier;

Three lovers,

two families;

and a bet:

The stone.”

In a town in the Basque country border, two families are involved in a bet, and, dragged by it, three young lovers, unable to pull themselves out of the inertia of the society they live in, cross their own fates and see time pass them by. It is an endless duel they can not scape from.

Awarded Basque film Arriya (The Stone) directed by ALBERTO J. GORRITIBEREA will be screened on Wednesday, 2nd of May, 14.30h at the Midlands Arts Centre (MAC). Come un join us! The film director will be there for a question and answer session after the film.
