Grec 2026: "La Truita" at the Teatre Poliorama

In La truita, a couple approaching retirement age has just moved to a small village to open a small organic bakery. New house, new life, they say. One Sunday, they gather their three daughters and their respective partners to celebrate the father's birthday.

The middle daughter, however, arrives with a fish: a trout. As a lacto-pesco-vegetarian, she will not eat the beef her mother has lovingly prepared. In fact, that is what they will mostly talk about. Why doesn't she do what everyone else does? What does it mean to "have convictions"? And convictions about what, exactly? Is it right to stand up for our convictions when they hurt others?

Meanwhile, the father has an important announcement to make. As the author explains, in La truita "I wanted to talk about those we do not notice, those we are never interested in, those rendered invisible not for political reasons (which is what we do with the violent, the insane, or the poor), but simply through omission, through lack of interest. Those who, from generation to generation, think about the world, try to represent it or represent themselves in it, but who in the end never do."

La truita is about love, food, family, death, love, generations, universal values, community, and the present. Its relentless structure is composed of three parts: starter, main course, and dessert.
