L'onzè dia

L'onzè dia is a theatre production in Catalan, with direction and dramaturgy by Jaume Viñas, that follows a large family across the twentieth century through its losses, secrets and conflicts.

The play takes the surname Fernández as the starting point for a saga that continues through the surnames De La Torre, Fortuny and Codina. Drawing on the domestic stories of these characters, the work reflects the socio-political events that marked a country during the twentieth century. Loss, love, betrayal, secrets and arguments shape an ensemble production.

The staging combines theatrical play with songs that echo the sounds and music that accompanied the most significant events of the era. The text raises questions about the memory we inherit, about whether fear is passed from one generation to the next, and about what transgenerational legacy we receive.

Direction and dramaturgy are by Jaume Viñas, while the music and lyrics are by Cisco Cruz. The project was born at the Aules school and is performed at DAU al Sec, a theatre in Barcelona.
