TIME: 8:00 PM
YEAR: 1929

DURATION: 21’

The show begins with a live recital of the poetry book El Perro Andaluz, interpreted by Carlos Urrutia. Basilio Martí’s music will accompany the performance, creating a sonorous atmosphere that will intensify the poetic experience and establish a deep connection between words and music.
This will be followed by the screening of An Andalusian Dog and, as part of the stage, Basilio Martí – Trio will perform, respecting the traditional layout of silent films. It is a live musical show, which accompanies the film, devoid of its original soundtrack.

TIME: 8:00 PM
YEAR: 1933
DIRECTOR: Luis Buñuel
DURATION: 30’
COUNTRY: Spain
GENRE: Documentary
Juanjo Guillem, experimental percussionist, will play live music to the short film Menjant garotes (Eating hedgehogs), in which Buñuel spends a few days at Dalí’s house in Cadaqués during the filming of The Golden Age, which has never been screened in Madrid, and to the crude documentary Las Hurdes (Land without bread), which took surrealism in a more social and critical direction.
Reyes Oteo, composer and electronic luthier, accompanies Juanjo in this project, establishing an innovative dialogue in which the percussion pulse finds echoes and contrasts with the electronic landscapes
LA EDAD DE ORO + MANU CACHERO
DATE: 20 MAY
TIME: 8:00 PM
YEAR: 1930
DIRECTOR: Luis Buñuel
DURATION: 62’
COUNTRY: France
GENRE: Surrealism
Manu Cachero will perform the piece composed for La edad de oro. Through the use of synthesizers, samplers and sequencers, he will offer an experimental proposal – between ambient and avant-garde electronics indebted to COIL – offering a musical accompaniment that intensifies the visual surrealism and aesthetic harshness of the film. A dialogue is established between the film and the musical piece, where the main influence becomes the image itself purged of all context, seeking “unconscious associations” in the manner of the surrealists. To do so, he will use live the sound elements that allow him to draw different layers and textures, moving the listener’s attention from the background to the foreground, focusing and blurring at will. In short, covering the image projected on the screen like a magnifying glass.
