Francoren bilobari gutuna (Carta a la nieta de Franco)

Iñaki is 10 years old and suffers from leukaemia. Joxan, 46, has a piece of shrapnel from the Civil War in his brain. In a futureless hospital, past and present is interwoven with the dreams of the doctors, Miguel and Cristina. In the waiting rooms, you can hear lists of patients that never appear in alphabetical order. Carmen Martínez-Bordiú is in the headlines of the tabloids.

“Francoren bilobari gutuna” (Letter to Franco’s granddaughter) is the trauma x-ray of the bones and lies of a sick community from the need to survive.

Some years ago, three Basque companies, Artedrama (Bizkaia), Le Petit Théâtre de Pain (Lapurdi) and Dejabu Panpin Laborategia (Gipuzkoa), joined forces to create “Errautsak” and “Hamlet”. This union has undoubtedly breathed fresh air into Basque theatre, now offers the play in Basque that we can see at the Arriaga Theatre.
