Poesia Brossa Poetry

A comprehensive survey of the work of Joan Brossa, through his books and his visual investigations, including his pioneering work in theatre, cinema, music and artistic actions.Joan Brossa was firstly, and foremost, a poet, but we believe it is necessaryto see this in relation to his way of working, his poiesis. Brossa was a poet, but his works stood at a crossroad of languages. Frequently collaborating with other artists, musicians, filmmakers, dancers, comedians and even magicians, his work constantlywent against the grain and beyond the limits between disciplines. Brossa developed his artistic practice in the 1940s, in a sociopolitical context marked by Franco¶s dictatorship, and in a cultural milieu characterised by the absence of avant-garde and innovative proposals. From the beginning, and up until his death, Brossa¶s work was one of aesthetic renewal, based on literary and artistic research. His extensive production never ceased to develop new forms of expression and ways of experimenting with different media.
