Information

L'aranya

  • Àngel Guimerà
  • Adaptation and direction Jordi Prat i Coll
  • Sala Gran
  • 30/01/25 al 09/03/25

The portrait of an era when the most hidden desires constantly fight against social pressure

A romantic tragedy that portrays the hopes and disappointments, loves and heartbreaks, loyalties and betrayals of a couple that cannot have a child. An uncomfortable piece full of tensions in which a grocery store is the setting where the most hidden desires and the social pressures of a closed society coexist.

L’aranya, one of the last plays from Guimerà’s theatre to be discovered, comes for the first time to the TNC with dramaturgy and direction by Jordi Prat i Coll, who approaches this classic from a very personal perspective.

With the desire to perform TNC productions throughout the Catalan-speaking world, L'aranya will go on tour after the performances in the Sala Gran.

The TNC goes on tour is a joint initiative of the TNC and the Departament de Cultura de la Generalitat de Catalunya to bring theatre to new audiences and contribute to cultural decentralisation.
