The Col.lectiu d’Artistes de Sants invited us to participate at their poetry cicle Vespràlies, and we were very honoured for this. While we were solving some technical issues at the beginning Joan Vinuesa spoke to the audience (Introducció), then himsel and Montserrat started the planned performance tearing clothes (esparracada) and finally we started with the poems and the music. A great evening!!
