A bit different but very good. Apart from your story I have another imagination looking at this. There must be a gap in this graffiti, because he looks a bit like one of these figures coming straight out of this graffiti to be alive.
Hi Ray, yeah, it’s Catalan. That wall shows the different body categories that conform a “ Colla de Castellers” in their terminology.
And a “Colla of Castellers” is a very traditional sportive activity of the Catalan society. It refers to people building a human castle of significant height.
Wikipedia says the following:
Castellers are the people who belong to a colla castellera (team) devoted to make the most impressive castell (human construction) in popular festivals in Catalonia.
Their typical clothes are white trousers, black sash, shawl and colored shirt with the team's emblem. While performing they usually go barefoot so that they don't hurt the other castellers as they climb and so that they have more sensitivity in their feet.
The shash is the most important part of their clothing since it protects the lower part of the back and it's very useful as an additional help in climbing. This piece of cloth has diverse lengths and heights depending on the casteller's position inside the tower and also on personal taste. Its lenght can range from 1,5 to 8 meters, and it is usually shorter for higher positions.
