El llibret de falla. Una oportunitat cultural. Grafico - EN

The Ancient Library of Alexandria was, in its time, the largest in the world. It is estimated that it was founded at the beginning of the 3rd century BC. C. It was born under the ambitious idea of ​​founding a city that contained universal knowledge, welcoming all cultures and beliefs. In this way, he intended to collect all the works of human ingenuity, which had to be included in a kind of immortal anthology for posterity. Its tragic end, the result of the flames and numerous disasters, meant that only a few parchments are preserved, sheltered in the shelters of ordinary people, who took care to protect them from the persecution of the authorities and the conquerors.

In Valencia, fire brings us together around the ephemeral construction of new things; of the unusual and the surprising. We build the fallas, an ephemeral museum that forces us and requires us to go out into the street, turning the impossible into the everyday. We decentralize knowledge, we extend it to each neighborhood, to each corner. And we edit publications around our sculptures, which after the flames have passed tell us about our own history, the one that is recorded in the llibrets de falla: our library on a city scale.
