The Barcelona Community Radio Network and platforms such as Spotify will be broadcasting Fuerzas Especiales [Special Forces], a series of podcasts produced by the journalist Marta García Miranda. The project aims to create a forum not only about stage and theatre, but also on the world we live in and the issues that occupy our minds and concern us, a proposal that brings together those special forces that create imagery and alternatives in fiction and ideas.
Each episode consists of a conversation between two performing arts creators, or a theatrical creator and an intellectual, a philosopher, a cultural manager or a writer. The guests featuring on Fuerzas Especiales, include directors such as Andrés Lima, Marta Pazos, Àlex Rigola and Pablo Remón, philosophers like César Rendueles and artistic managers such as Elvira Dyangani Ose, the director of Barcelona's MACBA.
Fuerzas Especiales consists of a discussion about issues that include the concept of Europe, the principles and values we share and the foundations of our societies, that may not be at their best right now: freedom, love, the future, commons and frontiers. And mixed in with these basic issues: desire, capitalism, social networks, the call to action, lost paradises and paradises to be conquered, our chronic fatigue, solidarity, community, play and the wish to be together.
The last podcast will be produced in front of a live audience, with a live-radio programme format.
