La Bomba del Liceo (DVD) | new film

Carles Balagué

Documental

At the end of the 19th century a fact shocked Catalan society: the anarchist Santiago Salvador launched a bomb to the plate of the great theater of the Liceu, with the result of twenty dead. More than a century later, 'The Liceo Bomb' is a reflection on those facts, with the collaboration of different testimonies, such as the novelist Eduardo Mendoza or the historian Lluis Permanyer, among others. Anarchism, modernism, public executions and the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie set their hand with Barcelona historical memory and anti-system claims, always with the Liceo Theater as a space of a confrontation that today is still present.
