Brothels, tablaos flamencos, street markets, American Marines, the Arab Bookshop… Madame Barcelona is a journey into the past and the present of Arc del Teatre, one of the most important streets of the old Barri Xino (Chinatown) of Barcelona.
Nowadays the Arc del Teatre is on a crumbling phase (maybe always has been) and the extreme poverty problems and crime of the past still resonate on its walls. Tradition and modernity, in an everlasting coexistence, are and will be the horse of Troia of the Arc del Teatre, but no doubt, also are and will be what makes it more interesting and attractive.
