‘Barba-rossa’

Sergi Marí directs and adapts the historical novel by Joan Pons in this co-production by the Teatre Principal de Palma, the Teatre Principal de Maó and La Trup.

The action takes place in 1535, when Emperor Charles I arrives in Menorca on his way to Tunisia. He wants to meet Roger Genestar, a simple bird breeder who has personally met Barbarossa and the emperor wants him by his side.

Roger Genestar will explain how he met Barbarossa, how he fell in love with one of his slaves and how, to get her, he traveled across the Mediterranean to access the admiral-privateer's palace. He agreed to negotiate with that young man who was risking his life for his love.

Barba-rossa is performed by Queralt Albinyana, Enka Alonso, Rodo Gener, Eugeni Marí, Josep Mercadal, Xavier Núñez, Agnès Romeu and Àlvar Triay. Catalan language.
