Eureka

Play in Catalan by Jonathan Spector, directed by Pau Roca, following a mumps outbreak at a progressive school and the tensions it provokes within its School Board.

Eureka is a play written by Jonathan Spector and directed by Pau Roca, with production by Pol Cornudella and Adriana Nadal. The action is set at Eureka School, a centre that champions inclusion, diversity and decision-making by consensus, and whose everyday life is disrupted by the outbreak of mumps.

What at first appears to be a health problem ends up generating tensions and clashes among the members of the School Board: four mothers and fathers committed to the project and the headteacher, whose values are put to the test. The play raises the difficulty of reaching an agreement when each person perceives the truth in a different way.

The cast comprises Rosa Boladeres, Enric Cambray, Ramón Madaula, Vicenta Ndongo and Alba Sáez. The show is performed in Catalan at the Teatre Borràs, whose programme focuses mainly on plays.
