Anonymous Barcelona
Just when I though there was little social organisation which seeks to defend the rights of the consumer, the citizen, the user – or indeed whatever you want to call the liver of the complex daily life of today, there pops up some surprising groups who exceed, get beyond that sense of torpor which surrounds modern comfort. In this case, it´s a group of young people, spurred on by varying interests – from the fun to the compromised, dealing with a diverse range of issues, but placing a special and very strong focus on the freedom of expression on the internet. Their name is Anonymous, and much more than a group in the classical sense, they are young people who share ideas, common objectives, mobilised by a social goal that is worth finding out about. Anonymous is today found almost all around the world – the idea of somebody who posts online, and signs themselves off as ´anonymous.´ A member of Anonymous whom I happened to interview described the movement as a “super conscience based on the internet,” where many anonymous users meet up with common objectives, generating protests, and creating a new species of social movement. My interview subject also told me of the movements of the group in Barcelona, and how it has been growing. The actions of the group started back in 2008, with protests against the church of Scientology, which were followed by other more successful ones such as Operation Payback (which attacks the copyright laws), as well as the defense of Wikileaks, which provoked much uproar.

IV Festival del Mediterrani in Valencia
Classical Music is for the few chosen. Composition and interpretation, technical ability and natural dexterity linked with this musical style, is, under my point of view becoming more separated and unreachable from daily routine. Even if the term “classical music” dates from 1800, Greeks and the Catholic church embraced this music which expanded and crossed frontiers and wrapped up colonies and countries, from the highest courts of old Europe to being popularized throughout the years in movies and festivals. The Mediterrani Festival in this fourth entree proposes a versatile walk thru famous operas as well as two concerts that will be unforgettable. The first representation will be the opera Tosca with music of Giacomo Puccini and libretos of Guiseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica which is divided in three acts. This opera was represented for the first time in 1900. Tosca is laden with violence, intrigue, passion and drama, along with Madame Butterfly and La Boheme it represents Puccini´s best work. Tosca will be performed by the well known soprano Oksana Dyka as the main character and by baritone Aldo Heo as Sciarrone. Fidelio will also presented, the only opera of the world´s most famous deaf person, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Pier Alli will be in charge of stage direction and the music will be performed by the Valencia Community Orchestra. Fidelio explains the story of how Leonora, the main protagonist dresses up as a guard called Fidelio to rescue her husband Florestan, sentenced to death due to political motives… very “rock and roll” Who said Girls couldn´t be super heroes?
