A contemporary text of a Spanish writer, with plays enacted on major stages in Barcelona, described by the author herself as follows: “I am interested in the human nature and in what motivates people to act, sometimes in strange ways. In my writings, I have attempted to explore the dark sides of the individual, to thoroughly research the fears, obsessions, desires, always in a recognizable context, with which the spectator can identify, but leaving space for imagination and the poetic”.
INFORMAȚII
Three families marked by loss: a married couple which falls apart after the disappearance of their adolescent daughter; a father and son unable to communicate because of the absence of the mother; an elderly couple whose happiness is threatened by the thought of losing one another. Wracked by pain, anguish, and uncertainty, they confront as best they can their particular tragedy, but little by little their lives will intersect until they blend into the same story, like in a puzzle: that of Alba, lost in the thickness of the forest, and her own journey through pain and into salvation.
