The Consell de Mallorca is organising a series of activities to celebrate Sant Jordi’s Day 2024. The island institution has set up different proposals for all audiences and in different municipalities of the island, through the Fundació Mallorca Literària and the Misericòrdia Artisan Culture Library, which will be held throughout the week.
The celebration of Sant Jordi in La Misericòrdia begins this Tuesday, 23rd April, with guided tours for schools in the Biblioteca de Cultura Artesana (Artisan Culture Library) located in the Misericòrdia Cultural Centre. Also throughout the day (from 10 am to 7 pm) there will be a participatory exhibition in turn in the book in the gardens of the Misericòrdia to encourage reading among children. Finally, at 6 p.m., the activity Na Lida i el seu peluix, a dramatised story accompanied by live music, will take place.
The activities will continue on Thursday, 25th April, with the presentation of the book Alícia, massa gran i massa petita, and on Friday, 26th April, with the creative writing workshop for young and adult audiences. To end the Sant Jordi week at La Misericòrdia, on Saturday 27th April, at 11 am, there will be a story workshop entitled La princesa, el drac i el cavaller desarmat, for children between the ages of 6 and 12.
The Consell de Mallorca has also organised a series of literary activities through the Fundació Mallorca Literària. For example, on Tuesday the 23rd of April, there will be two guided literary tours around Palma. The first will start at 10:30 am and will leave from the Plaça de Santa Eulàlia to discover Palma in verse with Miquel Àngel Llauger, author of the poetry anthology of the same name.
Later on, at 6 pm, Joan Carles Palos will guide the Secrets i llegendes de Palma antiga (Secrets and legends of old Palma), a family route that invites you to relive the history, anecdotes and legends hidden in the streets and squares of the city.
In addition, at the weekend, the Casa Llorenç Villalonga Museu Literari de Binissalem will be hosting the fourth monograph in the cycle La Narrativa dels 70s (1970s Narrative) dedicated to Gabriel Janer Manila. A very complete programme to revisit the work of the Mallorcan author with lectures, readings, round tables and the theatrical performance of He jugat amb els llops, Janer Manila’s successful novel, by Produccions de Ferro.
