Els miserables

A metatheatrical satire of delirious humour inspired by Victor Hugo's novel: an egocentric director wants to stage a commercial, pared-down version, but the project ends in a real revolt on stage.

Directed by Miquel Mas Fiol, the production is part of the RBLS festival and is aimed at a young audience. A theatre director obsessed with his own image sets out to reduce Victor Hugo's novel to a commercial format in order to make money and gain fame. However, the performers and the subject matter of the text lead to a genuine rebellion.

Lluís Oliver, Mel Salvatierra and Gerard Franch make up the cast. The register is that of metatheatrical satire, with delirious humour and references to pop culture, and the performance reflects on anger, broken dreams and present-day activism. The show is performed in Catalan, Spanish and English.

The Teatre Conservatori de Manresa hosts this production in the city.
