ADN & Cosmos Factory throwbacks mark Sant Jordi commemoration

sant jordi15This morning, the Formentera Council's office of culture announced the activities calendar being organised to celebrate el dia de Sant Jordi. Though the day is officially fixed on 23 April, the festivities that commemorate Saint George beginning 10 April finish twenty days later having run the gamut. The programme will be rich in the literary, theatrical and cinematic, while taking time out for arts and crafts, cultural exhibitions and other conferences.

The morning presentation was presided over by councillor of culture and local patrimony Sònia Cardona, staff specialist Anna Costa and director of the libraries of Formentera Margalida Serra. The bulk of the events on the 2015 Sant Jordi calendar concern ADN and Cosmos Factory, both published between 1985 and 1998 by the collective known as Collectu Adn (named for the Catalan and Spanish translation of DNA – TN).

Monday the 13th an exhibition is being planned for the exhibition hall of the ajuntament vell where residents will be able to view fanzines and original editions of both publications. The display will continue through 25 April, but the following week followers will have yet another chance to take in the beautiful artwork once propagated by the two local cult reviews as a book presentation for Revistes ADN i Cosmos Factory (1985-1998). La primera revista de còmic de Formentera is held in the plenary hall of the Formentera Council.

Literature is front and centre in the 2015 Sant Jordi programme, first with a chat, Friday 10 April, with writer Gemma Lienas and then with an afternoon of poetry from Ben Clarck, 21 April.

Nor can the place of theatre be overlooked: a production of “Hamlet Party” is scheduled for 19 April in the gardens at sa Tanca Vella preceding a family-oriented show on Saturday 25 April, this time of “La cigala i la formiga” ('The Ant and the Grasshopper').

Friday 17 April, a special concert by cantautor Albert Solà is sure to please crowds at the Council's cultural hall and 23 April, the official day of Sant Jordi festivities, book stands will dot the plaça de la Constitució in Sant Francesc in a traditional commemoration of the holiday.
