53 domingos

Comedy by Cesc Gay in which three siblings get together for dinner to settle the situation of their elderly father, and the conversation turns into a family confrontation on the stage of the Gran Teatro Pavón in Madrid.

53 domingos is a comedy by Cesc Gay that moves between biting humour and the conflicts of family life. Julián López, Pepa Charro and Xavi Mira play three siblings who meet for dinner to discuss the future of their father, whose behaviour has begun to worry everyone. What was meant to be a sensible chat soon turns into an argument marked by grievances, memories and old debts.

Tension builds throughout the show, and any detail is enough to make everything explode. The intervention of the character played by Candela Serrat disturbs an evening that swings between the most mordant humour and a very recognisable emotion. The text portrays family ties with lucidity, those bonds that survive even when one tries to escape them.

The story has also reached the screen, with a film adaptation produced by Netflix. At the Gran Teatro Pavón, located on calle de Embajadores in the Centro district of Madrid, the programme focuses on theatre plays.
