Les Filles

PRE-SALE FOR SELECTED SHOWS FOR PURCHASES MADE UNTIL 07/01.

Les Filles presents a seemingly festive family gathering that soon turns into a difficult conversation. The three central characters arrive intending to celebrate their mother's birthday, but what they really have to resolve is how to face the decline of a woman who, for years, was firm and imposing.

The tone is that of tragicomedy: old resentments, secrets that resurface and moments of humour that emerge in the midst of pain. The play asks who should take on the care, who shows affection and who does not dare to express it, and to what extent making decisions on the mother's behalf also means defining one's own identity.

The production is aimed at an adult audience interested in family bonds and in the passage from youth to responsibility for older relatives. It is staged at Teatre Goya, a theatre on Joaquín Costa street devoted mainly to plays.
