El gran mercado del mundo

  • Calderón de la Barca
  • Direction and version Xavier Albertí
  • Sala Gran
  • 15/05/19 al 22/06/19

The classical play by Calderón de la Barca turned into a great show with the contemporary view of Xavier Albertí

Fame calls on everyone to go to the great market of the world. Everyone has a talent to buy what they desire and must use it to be happy. Innocence and Malice will accompany the purchasers. Figures such as Pride, Humility, Pleasure, Penitence or Disillusionment parade among the sellers. In the market you can buy anything, from Thought to Guilt. Meanwhile, Music watches over all and marks the rhythms.

Calderón de la Barca wrote this Eucharistic play with an explicitly liturgical function, in a European context of strong ideological upheavals. Often the disturbances of our times do not want to talk to the moral precepts of other eras, but the allegorical characters of El gran mercado del mundo continue to populate our realities. And our world is an increasingly bigger market.

Script of the play published by Arola Editors and TNC.
When you come to the see the show, you can get a special premiere edition of the text at the price of 3 €.

This play is included in the project Club de lectura “Llegir el teatre” (reading theatre clubs) of TNC/Biblioteques públiques de Catalunya.
