Lily: Do you like music and art? Oliver: Are you into film and theatre? Lily: If your answer is yes then you’re in for a treat today as we are taking you to the Barbican in London. I’m Lily. Oliver: I’m Oliver. Lily: The Barbican is huge building with a concert hall, two theatres, three cinemas,twoartga(a) lleries, a conservatory and a public library.You can find almost every form of art here at the Barbican. And that makes the Barbican very unique. "What gives the Barbican its unique flavour is the fact that it does have venues, spaces, for each of the art forms. I don’t know anywhere else in the world that has this configuration of spaces. So that gives us an opportunity to present work in a variety of different ways and juxtapositions, and people can come here and enjoy a whole range of activities over one or two or three days or nights, so you can see both the popular and the more esoteric art forms.You can see, you know, the latest Harry Potter film, but also maybe a piece of Japanese animation or a film from Palestine, or a London Symphony Orchestra concert, or a Jazz concert, or a new dance from Africa, which we’ve got on at the moment, or an English production of Cymbeline by Shakespeare, or an exhibition of punk. " Lily:It sounds like the Barbican has so much to offer to the British public. The Barbican is open 363 days a year, and you can always find something that interests you.
