The Actions in Poetry cycle returns to Vila-seca with 3 shows between July and September

The Accions en Poesia cycle arrives this summer in Vila-seca with three unique shows combining poetry, music, and performance. The proposal, which has been running for 23 years, features programming that surprises and connects with both local and visiting audiences.

If you are one of those who believe that poetry is made of few words and great emotion, this cycle is for you. And if not, you will surely end up hooked on one of the three shows that fill the garden of the Vila-seca library with life and art.

2026 Program: what you can’t miss

Which shows make up Accions en Poesia this year?

The 2026 edition consists of three events with outstanding literary and stage personalities. It opens on July 16 with Reunión de amigos, an acoustic concert with songs by the poet José María Micó, voice and guitar.

On August 20, Venus and Adonis offers a new perspective on Shakespeare’s poem, performed by Emma Vilarasau and Jordi Bosch, with music by Lluís Claret. The cycle closes on September 3 with Cohen, a poetic and musical dialogue led by Àlex Torío.

Why does it matter that these figures perform in Vila-seca?

These literary and artistic voices not only bring quality but also bring poetry into an accessible, close space with a renewed touch. The combination of music and performance turns poetry from an apparently inaccessible genre into a living and exciting experience.

The space and time: an ideal setting

Where and when do the shows take place?

All the shows take place in the garden of the Vila-seca Library, a place that provides an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. The concerts start at 8:30 p.m. during July, August, and September, ideal times to enjoy the outdoors and art after a summer day.

How does this affect neighbors and visitors?

The location in the center of Vila-seca facilitates access on foot and creates a cultural meeting point that enriches local life. Furthermore, the nighttime schedule invites a different experience that breaks routine and invites reflection after a day of heat or work.

The value of poetry today: a proposal for everyone

How is poetry integrated with other disciplines in this cycle?

Accions en Poesia promotes a fusion of word, music, and performance that makes each show its own universe. This interdisciplinarity not only attracts a broader audience but also revalues poetry as a living and contemporary language.

The presence of musicians like Lluís Claret and artists like Àlex Torío provides a sound environment that enriches the poetic narrative and makes the audience experience poetry with all their senses.

Why is it relevant that Vila-seca maintains this cycle?

At a time when art often seeks new ways to reach everyone, a cycle like Accions en Poesia keeps interest in oral and written literature alive, doing so with a fresh approach that connects with different generations. It is a window open in the height of the summer heat that invites feeling, thinking, and sharing.
