Sota teràpia

Show in which three couples gather for a therapy session without the therapist present, and the conversation ends up leading to unexpected confessions and truths. Production by the Paranys group from Sant Joan de Vilatorrada.

Sota teràpia sets up a simple situation: three couples are invited to a relaxed therapy session, in which they share intimate experiences, longings, dreams and frustrations. The twist is that the therapist is not present and the participants themselves lead the encounter.

As the minutes pass, the exercise spirals out of control. Confessions, recriminations, truths and lies come to the surface, and the codes of social behaviour and the pairings that had worked until then stop making sense. The play shows how, once those norms break down, what had remained silenced until then comes to light.

The production is by the Paranys group from Sant Joan de Vilatorrada, staged as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Directed by Jordi Gener Soto and Pep Maria Martínez Giralt, the cast comprises Albert Giralt Montañà, Montse Mas Camprubí, Jaume Carné Coll, Dolors Garzón López, Carles Gutiérrez Burniol and Lídia Mallofré Cordero. The show is performed at the Kursaal, Espai d'Arts Escèniques in Manresa.
