The Consell de Mallorca and Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary Art will host a public performance this Thursday, September 25, at 7 p.m., in the Talayotic sanctuary of Son Corró (Costitx), the historical site where the famous Bous de Costitx were discovered. The event marks the closing of the exhibition “Bernardí Roig. Hem arribat a l’infern!” at the Museu de Mallorca, part of the Biennal B program.

The performance, led by philosopher and art critic Fernando Castro Flórez, is titled “Hem arribat a l’infern! Performative Lecture”. From the very place where the first bull was unearthed 130 years ago, Castro Flórez will reflect on archaeological memory, the transformation of findings into museum objects, and the symbolic journey from soil to showcase.

Bernardí Roig’s exhibition Hem arribat a l’infern! closes with a performance at Son Corró inspired by the Bous de Costitx

The event will conclude with the burial of a golden horn, a life-size replica of one of the three Costitx bulls preserved at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, crafted by Bernardí Roig. This poetic act symbolises a return to the earth of what belongs to time, echoing the exhibition’s exploration of absence and fragility.

Opened on September 11 and running until the 21st, the exhibition turned the Museu de Mallorca into an immersive installation, attracting hundreds of visitors. Curated by Jackie Herbst and Sofía Borrás, it featured a monumental altar and an evocative atmosphere that invited reflection on the Bous de Costitx and the transient nature of presence.

With the performance at Son Corró, the project concludes by opening a new chapter of dialogue between contemporary art and heritage, while the Biennal B continues across the island.
