Converses LiteràriesConverses Literàries and the Formentor Prize for Letters · Cultural event

Every year the Formentor Foundation organises the Formentor Prize for Letters and the Converses Literàries in Pollença, which pick up the cultural gatherings that began at Hotel Formentor in the 1930s.

The programme was spread across the hotel gardens. Among the pines we set up a transparent marquee with seating, a red carpet at the entrance and a stage with a screen, a piano and spotlights hung from a truss structure. Outdoors, facing the bay, there was a platform with the prize table and chairs in the garden looking out to sea.

At night the pool was lit blue and the palm trees violet for the garden dinner, and the paths were marked with torches.
