1h 1m

For Joan Brossa (Barcelona, 1919–1998), poetry was an open adventure spanning literature, theatre, cinema, visual art, object art and sculpture. *Brossa, a Walkable Poet* focuses on his visual work while exploring his other creative fields. Through archival interviews and reflections from RTVE, alongside testimonies from those who shared his artistic journey, the documentary portrays Brossa at the height of his recognition as a visual artist. He first gained attention as part of the avant-garde group surrounding the magazine *Dau al Set*, alongside Antoni Tàpies, Joan Ponç and Arnau Puig. Despite later recognition, success did not always come in the fields he loved most. As Joan Brossa Foundation director Glòria Bordons and anthologist Manel Guerrero explain, he never abandoned literary poetry. He also pursued theatre for years without achieving the response he hoped for. Composer Carles Santos recalls the early reactions to his performances.
