Visual Poems is a charming show, filling every corner of the stage with an unusual virtuosity, the result of many years of work. On stage a series of simple letters come to life but thanks to great mastery and handling, these convert gestures into verse and verse into emotion.
The show is inspired by the magic of the poems of Catalan poet Joan Brossa, borrowing from the magnetism of Brossa’s alphabet, a game of letters with which the poet illustrates his visual poetics.
Visual Poems starts with musician-actor playing the role of a poet; he is carrying a suitcase full of foam letters and he starts playing their sounds and shapes, discovering how letters can be used to create poetry without the need to construct words. With his guitar and songs, he establishes a warm relationship with the letters that come alive, creating a universe full of characters, choreographies, humor, and drama to show that letters are not just for filling up papers and computers but that they can also create a sensitive world of breathtaking simplicity. The letters, operated by sticks on a table, come alive and transform as the show moves forward: E becomes a dog that plays with a child, which is I. A Y and U create a rhythmic dance while T is a trampolinist. 
Visual Poems is a show for adults that fascinates children
