Event
Show “El fill”
El fill begins with a minimal scene: an elderly couple wait by the window for their son to return. But in that silent wait, years, absences and the feeling that the world around them is slowly emptying accumulate. The village is losing inhabitants, young people are leaving, and what remains seems suspended in an uncertain time.
About this event
The play, written by Jon Fosse, moves from the everyday towards contained emotional tension, where what matters is not always said aloud. Fernando Utzet directs this piece with a restrained staging that leaves room for the looks, silences and small gestures that run through the characters.
When the son finally appears, the reunion does not bring the expected calm. What seemed a simple wait becomes an intimate confrontation with what time has changed or worn away.
With performances by Guillem Balart, Mercè Pons, Sebastián Mogordoy and Jordi Figueras, “El fill” builds a story that is delicate and harsh at once, in which the family is presented as a place full of affection, but also of distance and wounds that are hard to name.
