What gives the Barbican it’s 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.

Lily: Because it has so much space, the Barbican can present work in a variety of different ways and juxtapositions. This word is spelt, juxtapositions.

Oliver: 并列的、并存的。So what is the range of activities? Graham again.
