And the music will continue 24 hours later at Teatre Grec with Italian singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Vinicio Capossela, who will be previewing the songs on his double disc of folk music that is due for release in September. Moving to a different artistic field, on 12 and 13 July, Teatre Grec will be hosting performances by Groupe Acrobatique de Tanger, with the vertiginous pyramids and spectacular acrobatics of their high voltage show Halka.
