Un ollo de vidro- Contado por Quico Cadaval e Celso F. Sanmartín
The exhibition Ollos de Vidro. As formas doutra historia de Galicia concludes its run with an activity that goes beyond the exhibition space to bring the words of Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao to life on stage. Two exceptional storytellers, Quico Cadaval and Celso F. Sanmartín, take over the Mozart Hall at the Auditorium to offer us a free retelling of Un ollo de vidro. Memorias dun esquelete.
Quico Cadaval, actor, director, writer, and theatre adapter, is one of the most recognizable and acclaimed voices in Galician and Portuguese oral storytelling—a self-taught narrator who has taken the art of Galician storytelling beyond borders. In 2011, he received the Galician Culture Award for Performing Arts.
Celso Fernández Sanmartín is also an experienced oral storyteller, ethnographer, and poet with a long track record in community and sociocultural work. In 2022, he was awarded the Rebulir Galician Culture Award.

Festivals
The neighbourhood of Vistalegre celebrates its traditional festival of San Xoán from June 21st to 23rd.
June 23rd, the summer solstice, is the magical eve of “San Juan” (St. John’s Day), an ancient fiesta that is present in all cultures, marking the beginning of the summer, the time of greatest sunlight, the longest day in the year.
The members of the Cultural Association Cidade Vella have prepared various activities in several squares of Compostela’s Old Town to celebrate the most magical night of the year. There will be music, sardiñadas (grilled sardines), snacks, quitameigallos (ritual bonfires), dance groups, foliadas (traditional music gatherings), DJs and, above all, lots of partying.
Five days of music, dance, theatre, big-heads, reading, storytelling, science and much more in one of Santiago's most unique neighbourhoods.
