Música antigua. Música sefardí (Ancient Music, Sephardic Music) (10pm and 11.30pm)
Concert.
This castle was built in the thirteenth century at the request of King Alfonso X the Wise, because it is located in
a place that was a strategic place in the city until the second half of the eighteenth century, when it was
abandoned. In 2003, after suffering a series of transformations, the Torre del Homenaje was restored and
rehabilitated by Cartagena Port of Cultures to host the Interpretation Centre of the History of Cartagena. In
2010, Cartagena, Cartagena Port of Cultures restored some parts of the castle. These parts are architectural
extensions dating from the late seventeenth century and early eighteenth century. This space is used to
explain the medieval city, and covers the period of the Muslim rule and the period of the Christian Reconquest
(La reconquista) conducted by Prince Alfonso of Castile, who will be later on known as King Alfonso X the
Wise.

Fundación Pons
Crónicas del-Bosque, Sonómetro poético (Wednesday 18, May 7pm-10pm)
Inauguration.
The plot line is a traffic for the Federico García Lorca's Theatrical imaginary, it comes from a night landscape
from the impossible language of the insects, (El maleficio de la Mariposa) painting and collage on table, paper
and parchment as support, oil, Indian ink and silk, as main technique in the building.
There will be an installation in the lucernario.
For the exterior court the projection of images will be combined with a sculptural group of pieces of wood and
glass surrounded with a Myriad of leaves spread on the floor and an installation in the railing surrounding the
building. In the interior wall of the Glassy Forest, we will project the sequential image of the video “La
Escondida”. The aim is to remember the commitment of the plastic arts with the poetry treated in a
handcrafted way, with the sight put in the nature as restorer of the ecosystem and its beneficial conviviality
with the urban forests.
