La Víctor C.

  • Anna Maria Ricart Codina from Víctor Català
  • Directed by Carme Portaceli
  • Sala Gran
  • 30/09/2021 al 07/11/2021

A different perspective on the life and work of Víctor Català / Caterina Albert.

Forced to camouflage herself under a male penname to avoid scandals, judgements and prejudices, Català was a revolutionary playwright. The writer herself spent the last 10 years in her bed, where she even received visitors. A real declaration of principles. Who was really hiding behind the alias? La Víctor C. is an approach to the enigmatic Empordà-born playwright through her stories and writings.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

A big bed. On it, in it, a woman receives visits. Whether it is a relative or a great writer, she has received everyone in bed for years. She offers the image of a weak, sickly woman… who has often defined herself as an amateur in what we call writing. But who is the woman in the bed, Víctor Català or Caterina Albert? Or neither of them?
La Víctor C.; speaks of her life, developed with the limitation allowed her by a society intolerant of women, mixed with her tales, the most beautiful and ironic of her writing, where she portrays a not very kind world, very far from the bourgeois meaning of nature. Her longing for freedom, for always being herself, leads her to distance herself from the world.


Anna Maria Ricart Codina, author, and Carme Portaceli, director of the show.
