“Heroines or nothing? Well, maybe it will have to be nothing. Is that what the game is about? You only give us space in your world by forcing us to be heroes?”
A group of young female artistes, from very different backgrounds but all of them from the fringes and with the desire to do a revolutionary kind of theatre than turns society upside down, have managed to put a play on in one of the most important public theatres in the country. They are angry with the world, and quite rightly. As a company, and also at a personal level, they feel helpless, and think that right now their only solution is to do this play, which they regard as a Trojan horse to blow up the culture surrounding and suffocating them.

Josep M. de Sagarra’s most personal play, together with Ocells i llops and La fortuna de Sílvia
On the premiere of Galatea in December 1948 at the Teatre Victòria, Josep M. de Sagarra recalled that the unusual cold of that winter – and the lack of heating in the theatre – meant that the audience saw the play shivering in their coats. It was not well received by most critics, and Sagarra complained that he had been insulted as if he were an arsonist or a corruptor of minors. Nevertheless, the playwright never stopped defending his play: “With La fortuna de Sílvia, with Ocells i llops and especially with Galatea I believed, and I believe sincerely, that I was trying to make a theatre more in keeping with my conscience and with the spiritual climate of our time.”

Cloe is 27, has an intellectual disability and has harboured a deep seated desire since a young age. The lack of understanding from her family, the institution where she lives and her community will lead her to an unprecedented fight for her rights, an awkward rebellion against her unfair situation in which she has lost control of her own body. Cloe will confront the law of men to realise her personal and natural yearning: to get pregnant and have a child. But the journey will make her doubt herself. Would she be a good mother? What is the ability that makes us good parents? Does everyone with children have it? Are all disabled people incapable of coping with maternity?

An acute insight into maternity by one of the great female voices of Catalan drama

In L’huracà, released in 1935, she portrays with enormous psychological subtlety the distressing conflict of a woman tragically absorbed by the possessive relationship that her son is obsessively demanding.
