Artistic and scientific project based on community participation and specifically designed as the inaugural action for FiraTàrrega 2017. With the aim of diluting the boundaries, the artist Ada Vilaró and scientist Josep Perelló propose a deployment that involves individuals, associations and spectators in a research into love, coexistence, respect and acceptance of others.

This is an activity of activities, a experience shared with people in the street and composed of different rituals: eating, sleeping, walking, running, watching... It invites the city and its inhabitants to stop their daily activities and implement various moments of communion that allow us to put in relation. A shared transformation of people, space and time.

This project was conceived with the collaboration of the Québec artist Chris Salter.

The scientific research is displayed before, during and after the inaugural action of FiraTàrrega, the three key moments in time: the previous work with associations and groups in Tàrrega, launching a conversation group on the network* and the experience of relationships between individuals in the square during 40 hours that the staging lasts. The final result of the research is an public exercise in knowledge and recognition that will continue in the months following the artistic action.
