Claudia Pagès : Arrela't, Nena, Arrela't

Arrela’t, nena, arrela’t is a project that takes shape in a book and a performance, working as a revisited operetta and its libretto, where narrative text and oral language are entwined. The book narrates different economies that unfold in a Barcelona’s neighborhood such as gleaners collecting objects, trading systems in flea markets and contemporary companies dealing with logistics and distribution like Amazon, Deliveroo or others. Meanwhile supermarket trolleys full of iron are pushed down the pedestrian sides, delivering bikers occupy the bike lines and other transportation logistics slide on the pavement.
The text also traces how the city plan has been modified for those logistics operations: starting in a flea market in a specific neighborhood, it follows the objects and movements all the way to the Barcelona Harbor and its cruise ships.
