Catalan human towers scrape Manhattan’s sky
The Castellers de Vilafranca are touring in New York, where they have shown the Catalan human tower tradition. On Wednesday, the group offered three performances in the heart of Manhattan. It was the first time ever that Catalan human towers were built in the United States.
‘The Human Tower’, a story of passion and tradition
How can you reach out and touch the sky with your fingers? Is it better alone or together with others? Ram Devinevi and Cano Rojas give a clear answer to this question in their documentary which shows how three different cultures -the Catalan, the Indian and the Chilean- all with a common aim: to build the highest human constructions. A formidable challenge which can only be achieved thanks to the huge effort of three hundred bodies climbing and the technical guidelines of an experienced coach.
