About this event
From 9 to 19 October, Nave 10 Matadero will stage Eva Mir’s new play, «Pródigo».
A few days before the Christmas bustle, the patriarch of a family that owns a meat company dies, and his 40-year-old son Pablo, overwhelmed by work, returns to claim his inheritance and tries to sever family ties. It is not a story about escape, but a contemporary drama about the uncertainty, vulnerability and concerns of a generation facing the cancellation of its future.
The play was born at Teatre El Musical, passed through the Rialto and has now been adapted for the Nave 10 stage. Inspired by the biblical parable of the prodigal son, it lacks a compassionate father and becomes an exploration of family memory. Eva Mir uses a stage language somewhere between Baroque and pop art, combining Marcos Nadi’s live music, a chorus and physical theatre to tell the story of a generation deprived of opportunities.
