Pare nostre

Show in Catalan that traces family memory and the construction of identity through Tomàs, a man who revisits episodes of his life to understand the past and come to terms with his absences. A Q-ars Teatre production.

Pare nostre, mare nostra explores family memory and how identity is forged from memories. Its fragmented, cinematic structure follows Tomàs as he revisits the most significant episodes of his life and tries to make sense of what he has lived through. The action moves across different settings and eras to paint a portrait of a family marked by the contradictions of love, the wounds of violence and the fragility of human bonds.

The show is performed in Catalan. The translation is by Lluïsa Mallol, and the text is by Leo Pimlico. On stage are Lluís Ferraz, Lluïsa Mallol, Aleix Melé and Pau Soler, the latter also responsible for the live music. Direction is by Anna Güell, with Hèctor Mellinas as assistant director.

Projections and sound are handled by Tània Banús. The staging is a production by Q-ars Teatre, presented at the DAU al Sec theatre, a Barcelona venue that includes this production in its programme.
