From the sea to Paris

There’s 955 km between the boats of Calella and the Olympia in Paris. The woods of Ermedàs and the Théatre des Bouffes du Nord are 873 apart. From the sea urchins of Cala Estreta and the Chaillot Théatre National de la Danse, a bit less than 925 kms, and from Golfet beach to Café de la Danse, one must go through 813 kms.

Here’s a possible emotional geography between the Catalan singer and composer and the capital city of France.

How many kilometres can a song travel?

How big is the difference between your emotion and mine, or between mine and everybody else’s?

How can one build a round trip emotional geography?

What is between the sky and the sea?

On March 8th 2026, the distance between the deep beauty of the wide landscapes of Empordà and the historical stage boards of Olympia will be nonexistent. It will be a dreamt geography or a bouquet of songs. Another chapter, a meeting point, arrival and departure of the gorgeous love story –art as a luxury spectator–, between Paris and Sílvia. A memory after the other. Song by song.
