A gripping drama that uncovers the buried secrets of mass graves, lost memories, and the urgent need to break the silence. As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of Franco’s death, we present 'The Master and the Sea,' a vital theatrical piece that champions historical memory through the real-life story of Antoni Benaiges, a Catalan teacher murdered during the Spanish Civil War. The young Barcelona resident, Júlia, discovers a box filled with forgotten relics in her grandparents’ yard, unearthing family secrets while a mass grave from the Civil War is exhumed nearby. This poignant narrative highlights the fragile memory of her grandfather, intertwining themes of personal search, unspoken taboos, and lingering obligations to history. Performed in Catalan and Spanish, the show lasts approximately 95 minutes.
