Sydney Dance Company in Barcelona

For the first time Sydney Dance Company will be heading to Rafael Bonachela’s home town, Barcelona, to present his beautiful double bill of 6 Breaths and LANDforms. The company is looking forward to returning to Europe with these works after a sell out season in Germany in May.

In 6 Breaths, Ezio and Rafael focus on the act of breathing as the spirit of life. ‘The first breath is the life breath; the second is breathlessness – out of breath; the third, the crying breath or where breath is interrupted by emotion; the fourth is in the same breath; the fifth breath is a whisper – under one’s breath – and the sixth is last breath.’ RAFAEL BONACHELA

6 Breaths will be presented with LANDforms, where Bonachela and Bosso have drawn directly from their shared response to the drama and evolving forms of the land. They have created a work that promises to be their most moving collaboration to date.

Carcassonne and "Le parc australien"

Carcassonne it's an interesting place to visit and it's just 3 hours from Barcelona!!!

Walk around the narrow lanes of " La Cité" (as it is called) and you will find a genuine medieval town sourrounded by 3 Km of ramparts and 52 towers, as well as hotels, gift shops, leafy squares and many restaurants serving regional cuisine. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, "La Cité" is visited year-around by those who want to feel history come alive. It's ans exceptionally attractive place and the setting for many events

If you travel with small children a good option could be a visit to Le Parc Australien, just three minutes from Carcassonne Medieval centre. Take a look...

A few minutes from the park you also have de Lac de la Cavayère with its picnic areas,children's games, water sports, sandy beaches and grassy edges, and the ideal place for fishing and walking
