The Mercat de les Flors became a performing arts venue in 1983, when Peter Brook chose a warehouse in the Palace of Agriculture, built for the 1929 International Exhibition, as the setting for his production of The Tragedy of Carmen. Officially inaugurated in 1985 with the presentation of Pina Bausch’s 1980, it has since established itself as a leading institution in contemporary performing arts. Since 2006, it has specialised in dance and movement-based arts.
