El Monstre

The winner of the Quim Masó Prize arrives at Temporada Alta, marking the second premiere this year by playwright Josep Maria Miró on the Catalan stage, alongside La Majordoma (also included in the festival). After nearly twenty years missing, an old friend unexpectedly returns to the village where he grew up. His reappearance unsettles the quiet life of Berta and Santi, who spend the night wide awake, stirring up memories and questions they had never dared to ask. What really happened that summer? An intimate and moving piece about guilt, collective silence, and the lingering presence of the past in seemingly peaceful communities.
