The Reina Sofía Museum and Radio 3 celebrate International Museum Day with a twelve-hour musical marathon. It will be on Friday, May 22, in the Patio of the Nouvel Building, with free admission from 09:00 to 23:00. The lineup includes Zahara, La Pegatina, Soleá Morente, Conociendo Rusia, Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, and other artists covering pop, rock, flamenco, and rap.
Technical logistics for a non-stop continuous event 🎵
Setting up a twelve-hour live show in a museum courtyard requires coordination. Multiple stages will be installed with quick equipment changes to avoid silences between performances. The sound system will be adjusted to suit styles as diverse as María José Llergo's flamenco and Zahara's pop, with technicians rotating to maintain quality. The lighting will vary depending on the time, transitioning from natural light to a nighttime design without dazzling attendees.
What your body will do after twelve hours on your feet 😅
Attendees will need to plan their survival strategy well: constant hydration and comfortable shoes will be key. At four hours, back pain will set in. At eight, people will look for any flat surface to sit on. At eleven, some will mistake Carlangas' rap for a divine message. Of course, admission is free, so the suffering will be low cost.
