El Grec is back to celebrate its 47th edition this year. The festival’s principal aims are to support local productions that showcase Catalan collectives and artists, as well as to introduce to Barcelona a range of artistic performances from around the world.
This festival is one of Catalunya’s most important theatre and arts festivals and this year will be no different. Expect to see a wide range of performances across the month from varying artists. There will be two main Grec events this year happening at a variety of spaces: Grec Festival and Grec Ciutat.
