Contemporary theatre

Teatro de los Sentidos is an experimental theatre company that approaches stage creation through non-verbal communication and from a multidisciplinary perspective. They have taken part in festivals all over the world and are seen as a model on the contemporary stage scene.

Besides creating and performing shows, the company provides training through the Escola dels Sentits, a centre recognised by the University of Girona that offers workshops, a master’s programme and a postgraduate programme.

From a military building to a cultural centre

Despite being a military building, the Polvorí looks like a typical Catalan farmhouse, made of stone and with a gable end tiled roof. Built in 1733, it was one of the buildings that Philip V had built after the War of the Spanish Succession to keep the city under his thumb. It was refurbished in 2005 and is listed as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest but presently closed to the public.
