Synopsis
Opposite the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona is Plaça dels Àngels. A space without benches or trees that seems designed solely to highlight the Richard Meier building; to pass by and not to stay. Despite this, the square is filled every day with young people because steps, walls and ramps welcome anyone who wants to sit down; because the characteristics of the ground attract skaters from all over the world; because the glass facade of the museum is an immense mirror in front of which to rehearse choreographies.
