Human Castles from Barcelona to NYC, Saturday June 23rd
  • Anna June 2012
    Hola amig@s!

    How are you? Do you have any plans for next Saturday morning?

    Several hundreds of people work together in a demonstration of strenght, precision, endurance, team work and above all passion, to rise impressive castles up to 10 levels high.

    "Castellers", as an incredible popular expression of our culture, became part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.

    Check out this video where you'll see and have a taste of it.




    If you liked that video you have 2 options:

    A) You can go where the Castells are...

    Go to the airport, get on a plane and fly to Barcelona or to one of the many towns with Castellers shows in their local festivities.

    B) Castellers can go where you are!!!

    Next Saturday, June, 23rd, 10:30 am at Cinema AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 (1998 Broadway, New York, NY) you can have a taste of Castells. Map: http://goo.gl/maps/n3ME

    "Els castellers de Vilafranca", probably the most famous groups ("colla") will be there and give a taste of what real castles are before and after the projection of the movie "Enxaneta".

    Check the following link to watch a 3D movie about this phenomenon last year. Its impressive 3D production and human interest has caused a huge impact in several European and North American festivals.



    ENJOY IT!
