Project
During my stay at Faber I will advance strength in the theatrical text Alguns dies d’ahir (Some days yesterday). It is a play that relates the experiences of a family (mother, father, daughter and son) of an average population of Catalonia during the months of October, November and December 2017 and the months of October and November 2019. Those months that were politically and socially so convulsed are the atmosphere that surrounds this family that sees how reality outside their home enters them through the window and ends up affecting them emotionally.
