Escenari Joan Brossa is a cultural facility dedicated to performing arts whose main mission is to keep alive the spirit of Joan Brossa and her scenic poetry, as well as to internationalize the figure of Brossa and her theatrical work. As a production center, it disseminates interdisciplinary activities such as textual dramaturgy, stage poetry and dance, and pays special attention to paratheatrical performing arts: magic, circus, puppets and Chinese shadows, and cabaret. Escenari Joan Brossa is also a forum for reflection on the relationship between contemporary scenic and paratheatrical arts and society
