The Nativity Scene: a poem by J. V. Foix

The 2016 Nativity Scene of the Barcelona Town Council is inspired by the J. V. Foix’s poem «Ho sap tothom i és profecia», and has been reinterpreted by the artists Quim Domene and Toti Toronell, both from Olot.

The Nativity Scene consists of nine transparent balls, each of which matches with a stanza of the poem. The Three Wise Men are embodied by J. V. Foix, Joan Miró and Pau Casals. The installation also contains three images (the Virgin, the Infant Jesus and Saint Joseph) borrowed from the Sants d’Olot Museum.
