PARCA – Pensament, Art, Rituals, Cos, Absència

The PARCA Festival invites a deep reflection on death, not as an end, but as an opportunity to better understand life. Through the arts, PARCA will explore the absences that define us and the connections they create. PARCA will place special emphasis on reflecting on death, absence, and grief through the body, voice, rituals, movement, and sound.

PARCA will be a space where we connect with our mortality—both individual and collective—offering a platform where the arts approach death in a creative and transformative way.

The festival will take place over the weekend of October 31st and November 1st, 2025, coinciding with La Castanyada and All Saints’ Day—a deeply meaningful time in our culture to reflect on death. Events will be held across various spaces in Eriety.

For a day and a half (Friday evening and all of Saturday), PARCA will become a creative gathering space showcasing visual, sound, performative, musical, and literary arts. We’ll host panel discussions, dialogue spaces, performances, concerts, and exhibitions, among other activities.

PARCA will also take the form of a magazine/fanzine, which we will present on the morning of Saturday, November 1st, featuring contributions from a range of artists and writers.
