“1714, crònica d’un setge” (chronicles of a siege), in the Jove Teatre Regina
From September 13th to November 10th, a musical drama about the 1714 siege will once again inaugurate the season of performances not specifically directed at children
In the early morning of September 11th, 1714, a group of Barcelona residents await an attack by the troops of Philip V. The characters, who originate from different parts of the city and different social backgrounds (an officer from a well-to-do family, an immigrant girl, a crafts worker, a woman ahead of her time, etc.), describe their experiences during the siege, their emotions, doubts, fears, etc.
Through the words of Quim, a student who keeps a diary, the spectator understand the causes of this desperate situation; the political reasons and historical events that have led to this definitive siege of the city.
