Girona Stories
Tales from the workshop at University of Girona
The workshop took place in February 2020.
Participants could either tell or write their stories.
Below are 4 of the written stories - in a language participants chose themselves. Nothing in those stories was edited - those are originals (in the exact shape and form they were submitted).
There are also 2 videos with extracts from spoken stories.
HISTÒRIA 1
Una parella va venir a visitar-me. No anaven agafats, en prou feines es tocaven, però jo podia saber per com es miraven que s'estimaven, estaven enamorats. Es van acostar a mi, es van treure les sabates i van posar els peus dins meu. Ens estàvem besant els tres, tot i que ells volien que el bes fos sols per a ells. Jo envejo aquesta parella. I en mirar el meu reflex recordo que t'estimo tant, i estàs tan lluny de mi. No sé si saps com gran és el que sento per tu, fa molt temps que desitjo besar-te, i ho intento simular dibuixant l'horitzó, però mai estic suficient a prop teu.

HISTÒRIA 2
Títol: Exercici tonal
Qui sóc? Una guitarra.
On estic? A un pis arraconada.
Que em passa? Ningú em toca i per això mai estic afinat.
Com ho veu l’altre? Un jove que no sap tocar la guitarra perquè no mai ha fet classes. Va ser un regal trampa.

HISTÒRIA 3
1. I am a lobster, leader of a shrimps secta community.
2. I am in the Cantabrian Sea, swimming in the bottom so relaxed, where really nobody disturb me and my people.
3. What I want is respect for “strange” people. To leave their lives by themselves, happily, and with their way of thinking, eating, etc. And where my voice is the only important thing. My purpose is not to be eaten by powerful and destructive people of the society.
4. My alter ego y a business women, own of an enormous restaurant, who gives food to rich and powerful people. These people would pay for eat shrimps almost every day in order to satiate themselves and they do not thing about the liberty of other people in that society.

HISTÒRIA 4
Hello my name is Harpreet Gill and I am avocado. I use this fruit because i think outside of it, seems so hard but inside it is so soft. In the same way I describe myself. Maybe I look so hard but my heart is so soft. So in my story I am afraid of a girl of my college who likes so much avocado. She always eat it and she wears avocado prints shirts. The alvocado tree is my home, my mother and the farmen take me from my mother and now I am traveling in the truck. I have no idea where they carry me. So when the farmer take me outside i listen to the song and i realized that I am in supermarket called MERCADONA. In Mercadona I meet this girl who loves to eat the avocado and I am scared.
