‘The Party’

Sergi Belbel directs and adapts for the theater The Party, a 2017 British film written and directed by Sally Potter. An example of high comedy without superfluous secrets or unnecessary details, fun and deliciously evil.

Janet has organized a small party to celebrate her appointment as British Health Secretary. Her friend April attended the event with her German husband, who defines himself as a spiritual healer; Professor Martha with her partner, Jinny, a renowned chef; and a co-worker, Marianne, along with her husband, the banker Tom.

What begins as a friendly celebration ends in the most unexpected way as the guests reveal surprising news.
The work speaks of the need for a good national health system, of the dangerous dichotomy between public health and quackery, of religious faith, of atheism, of the lie of financial games with money that is nowhere, of decency, infidelity, the contradiction between ideas and acts, new family structures, machismo, feminism, the resounding possibility that not all men are rapists... of life.

Performers: Laura Porta, Biel Duran, Àngels Gonyalons, Carme Pla, Jordi Díaz, Marta Ribera and Lluís Soler.
