‘Mort d’un comediant’

Josep Maria Mestres directs the production of Mort d’un comediant, play written by Guillem Clua and performed by a magnificent Jordi Bosch, Mercè Pons and Francesc Marginet Sensada.

Adri, a young carer for the elderly, starts working in the home of Llorenç Cardona, one of the most respected and beloved actors in Catalonia. On the first day, his niece Miranda warns him that, in order to keep his job, he will have to follow a lot of rules that go beyond his usual tasks: in the final stretch of his life, Llorenç seems to have lost his mind and sometimes decides to behave like the characters he has played during his long career, forcing Adri to play along.

Throughout their time together, Llorenç embodies all kinds of mythical characters as he establishes an increasingly close relationship with his caregiver, who will end up discovering the real reason why the old actor has found refuge in theatrical fiction: to escape from a reality that he is unable to face. Language: Catalan.
