Día Mundial de la Poesía 2026 in Barcelona
Día Mundial de la Poesía 2026 unfolds across Catalonia in a new format that broadens its scope and turns it into a festival extending across the territory. From 15 to 25 March, poetic language blends with music, dance and visual arts in a programme that seeks to reach new audiences and strengthen its link with the local cultural fabric.
About this event
In Barcelona, the epicentre will be the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, where Que vingui el sol com una festa will be presented on 21 March at 19:00. This show proposes a dialogue between performing languages: poetry, body, sound and image coexist in a choral piece that invites audiences to experience words through the senses.
The edition takes as its starting point the works of Blai Bonet, Clementina Arderiu and Joan Alcover, exploring themes that run through time, such as love, death and spirituality. This year’s chosen poem, Foc d’ocell, by Bonet — on the centenary of his birth — will be translated into twenty languages, extending its resonance beyond the original context.
More than a one-off celebration, Día Mundial de la Poesía offers a shared space in which words expand, transform and find new ways to be heard.
