Barcelona Grec Festival 2008 presents martial arts
From June until August 2008, music, dance and art lovers staying in Barcelona shouldn't miss "The Grec". This Barcelona festival offers a great mix of entertainment with music highlights and brings the best of culture, theatre and art to Barcelona. Each year the organizers surprise the international audience who attend the Barcelona Grec Festival by bringing up something new and completely different. From 16th to 18th of July martial arts will be part of the Grec. At the main venue of the Grec, the famous Grec Theatre, theatre and art performance lovers can visit a true spectacle of martial arts combined with music, design and the spirit of Shaolin. "Sutra" is the title of a show that brings martial art fan and choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui back to Barcelona. Working together with the composer Szymon Brzóska and the sculptor Antony Gormley and the support of Shaolin temple monks, a great show was developed. Tickets for "Sutra" can be purchased in many of the Barcelona libraries or can be bought on the internet (telentrada.com), too. Staying at Barcelona hotels you might want to taste the atmosphere of the great Teatre Grec by visiting the show. Acclaimed choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui takes up the challenge of revealing the spiritual nature behind the millenary Kung-Fu tradition. If you are still searching for accommodation in Barcelona, you should check the offers for Barcelona hotels at Montjuic, which are very close to the venue, at BarcelonaPoint.com. Until the 2nd of August the Grec festival 2008 (also known as Barcelona Festival) will fill Barcelona with concert highlights, theatre works and other spectacles. Don´t miss it! As Barcelona offers a lot of festivals, concerts and shows during the summer months, visitors of the city might also opt for Barcelona apartments throughout the city that are often cheaper than hotel rooms.
