A linguistically surprising production based on the myth of Europa and its current boiling point.
It is peculiar, and also revealing, that the myth of abduction and rape is what gives Europe its name. Today, those on the opposite shore make the same journey across the Mediterranean, abducted by the idea of Europe, and, along the way, suffer rape and extortion. Many die at sea and those who do make it are welcomed by denial of asylum and “refugee camps”. At times like this and, after so many -isms, how can we believe in the European Union without resorting to EU-phemisms?
Melon, Mardi and Rossinyol are facing an unexpected dead end. Their indomitable and clumsy nature and the need to exist lead them to an improbable endeavour, in which they freely explore any barbarism. This hilarious and terrifying experience drips with a story of sincere and rough friendship, caused by a feeling of responsibility and guilt. An unlikely crime, a dubious trial and an absurd punishment. Paradoxically, perhaps they will provoke the desire to die laughing.

A pandemic is sweeping the globe: a plague of unexplained and incurable blindness. The government applies increasingly repressive and useless restrictions to try to stop the contagion. Lack of resources and extreme conditions will make people fight to survive but only the most immoral will succeed.

Very soon a wave of reactions is unleashed: an explosion of unprecedented solidarity and media coverage that raises more and more doubts. Could the tragedy have been avoided? Did the emergency protocols work? Why do they continue to build on the banks of streams?

Who would have imagined that to get out of it we would have this adventure. In the heart of Europe. Where the earth is flat and the sky is white. Where big decisions are made. We just needed an idea to blow it all up. Just one. But having a great idea is not easy. It involves breaking the mirror itself, compromising the strength of the group, or even making the world a little worse.
Seven young people at a European convention have the responsibility, or are faced with the difficult situation, of staging another possible future in front of the political leaders responsible for the 2030 Agenda. In their hands, the opportunity to change the rules of a world condemned to drift in a global emergency with no return. Where to start? The countdown has begun.

A woman who lives alone and doesn't have the strength to open milk cartons. A choir of elderly people from a home who dream of dancing like Pina Bausch. A parking attendant who controls old people and not cars. Moriu-vos speaks to us about old age in a society that sets it apart and ignores it, but it also speaks to us about rebellion, memory, forms of escape, fantasy and memories.

Through irony and emotion, the poet recounts his time at the Residencia de Estudiantes, the reviews he received for Yerma, his experience at La Barraca, his relationship with the press, the love affairs and the tension of later years, as well as the need for artistic freedom, for freedom of expression and for finding sexual identity and the importance of memory and roots.

Alan Bennett wrote these monologues for the BBC between 1988 and 1998. Reminiscent of his childhood spent in the provinces of England in the 1940s and 1950s, Bennett explains that he soon learned a valuable lesson: life is generally something that happens elsewhere.
Bennett humorously depicts a series of insignificant characters, existences without a future who, to avoid falling into the vertigo of emptiness and to create the illusion of life, talk non-stop.

Terra baixa is, above all, a play of thrilling emotion that slips from rural drama to romantic tragedy to explode in a final liberating call, when Manelic cries out, after killing the master: "I killed the wolf ! I killed the wolf! I killed the wolf!” Three times, to make it clear. Good triumphs over evil, virtue over vice, the purity of the mountains (close to the sky) over the pettiness of the lowlands (and, down below everything, the late 19th century industrial Barcelona and its miseries).
