L'últim àtom

Apocalyptic tragicomedy written and directed by Jordi Oriol, with Joan Carreras, Mia Esteve, Paula Malia, Carles Pedragosa and Lara Segur, reflecting on language, science and uncertainty at the Teatre Principal de Sabadell.

L'últim àtom is an apocalyptic tragicomedy about the present, language and what could cease to exist. As uncertainty spreads through humanity, some senior government advisers impose an ultimatum on themselves to respond to it.

In parallel, some parents face the disappearance of their daughter and the loss of their grandmother's language. The idea that runs through the play is that what stops being named ceases to exist, although there remains the doubt of whether what one mentions ends up happening.

The play sets two ways of looking at the world against each other, bringing science and language into dialogue, and explores the need to invent fictions in order to escape reality. Written and directed by Jordi Oriol. Performers: Joan Carreras, Mia Esteve, Paula Malia, Carles Pedragosa and Lara Segur. Performed at the Teatre Principal de Sabadell, on Sant Pau street.
