Mercè 2013: La ciutat de la bullícia (The bustling city)

Go back in time to 1708 Barcelona, a lively city that was busy celebrating the wedding of Archduke Charles VI and Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfensbüttel. Strolling through the Parc de la Ciutadella you'll come across festive processions, decorated gardens, miquelet camps, a tavern buzzing with activity, and shows that tell us the history of the city through dance, song, music and more. See and how the city looked and sounded in the 18th century, and learn about Barcelona's fascinating past with the help of dynamic artists draped in colourful period dress.
