CLASSIC / METAL

This is the Cox family, an English family who arrived to Barcelona a few days ago and are looking for a place to live near Margarida Xirgú Square. The father is a very famous pianist from his country, very demanding with his son, George, whom he forces to practice playing the piano 12 hours a day. They are looking for that neighborhood because the son performs  in live when works are finished in Mercat de les Flors. His mother abandoned them when George was very young. It’s a classic family, from upper London, who don’t like to break traditions or break the rules. They want a place where they can rest easy, where the child can play the piano without problems.

We are Lydia and Irene. We are a couple and we have a 5 year old daughter named Genesis and she spends her day playing a drum kit that we made from pots; she always tells us that when she grows up she will make a metal band and we are very proud of her. It must be influenced by us as we listen to Metallica very often. Lidia and I were living in an abandoned house in the neighborhood of Gràcia until Genesis was born and we were evicted. After a long time we saw this place when we were protesting in Margarida Xirgu Square that meets the requirements we want surrounded by vegetation. Well, they said they want to build a house but they will not move us, if necessary we will claim till the end.
