| Ramon Llull |
Ramon Llull
was born in Ciutat de Mallorques (Palma) in 1232 and died in Tunisia in 1316. Nowadays, we’re
celebrating the 700th
anniversary of his death. Llull was a revolutionary
in his age. He changed the European thought and studied all the Arts. He was
the most important philosopher in his age and he spoke four languages: Catalan, Occitan, Arabian and Latin. He used the binary code and showed how you could write all things with only two
symbols.
Llull was
the most scholar person and a great precursor. He taught how to create
modernity from a different way. His work Ars Combinatoria is a permanent
improvisation between concepts, symbols and words. There are two important
words in all Llull's works: connection
and net. Studying Llull is an
incredible process of discovering and constant fascination.
We can consider Ramon Llull as the first European philosopher. His reality is in a constant movement and all the elements are interconnected. Llull was the first who had the intuition that all is connected from a mystic point of view. He thought that the principle of the reality is God and the relation is transmitted like a model to the rest of the reality because all the elements have this relational structure. This is the reason because of Llull invented a machine and a method that put in relation with arts and this is the reason because of some Scientifics consider Llull the precursor of an invention that would revolutionize all things seven centuries later: the computer.

The theme of this Art is the answer to all the questions.

There is an important Llull's idea: there isn’t harmony without difference. Based on this idea, Llull wanted to create a Magna Ars and he offered ideas that are very innovative for us in our present. He’s in the centre of the conflicts that the world lives nowadays.
Using the
mechanism of the Ars Combinatoria, Llull proposed the union of the different
knowledges. These knowledges guided the men to reach the peace between the
religions using the reasoning, the demonstration and the dialogue. This
knowledge represents a complex mechanism of geometric figures and symbols that
combine letters and concepts and this knowledge is announced like a new wisdom
with universal pretensions.
Llull's Ars
Combinatoria is a precedent of our new technologies of information, a
first model of a society, relationships, procedures and virtues that have been
blended many years later.

Ramon Llull
was a philosopher, a mystic and a visionary. Catalan, European and Mediterranean, the Llull's world
was rich and varied. He wrote more than 250 books in Catalan, Latin and Arabian
and travelled around Orient and Occident. He
joined the Greek, Jewish, Arabian philosophies
with the Christian Neoplatonism and all of them with Sciences like Astronomy, Theology, Philosophy, Logic, Medicine
and Language. Language was the centre of all because Language is communication.
The legend says that Ramon Llull died because of his ideas which were too advanced, transcendent and uncomprehensive for being understood in all its fullness, even nowadays, 700 years later living in the age of technology.

| Maria del Mar Bonet's Amic, Amat |
This work joined the essence of Ramon Llull: Arabian (Cham Ensemble of Damascus); Greek (theatre); Jewish (Montjuïc) and Christian Neoplatonism (Maria del Mar Bonet).
The dramatic situation in Syria, nowadays, does that is impossible to repeat a show like this because of the tragic situation of the members of the Cham Ensemble of Damascus.
