Event
Opera “Els estunmen”
Nao Albet and Marcel Borràs enter the realm of opera with Els estunmen, a proposal that closely observes the figure of the hero from an unexpected place: that of those who embody it without a face, the film stunt performers. With music by Fernando Velázquez, the work builds a narrative in which risk, fiction and violence intertwine.
About this event
At the centre of the story is a loss. The death of a child sets the protagonist on a journey of no return, guided by a group of figures representing different ways of understanding heroism. Far from conventional epic, the piece questions what it really means to be a hero and what lies behind that narrative.
The staging combines operatic language with contemporary codes, approaching cinematic imagery without giving up the emotional intensity of music. Amid falls, stunt doubles and risk-filled choreography, the work sketches an unsettling reflection on love, violence and the need for meaning.
More than a story of revenge, Els estunmen poses an open question: who takes the blow when the hero disappears.
