La mare que t’ha parit

How does a first-time mother face parenthood? Is there a point where you stop worrying excessively? How do you manage the mental load? Do you ever sleep again? This diary narrates the adventures of an inexperienced mother with her first child.

In this grand premiere, the audience discovers that being a mother means living in a constant contradiction: going from laughter to tears in the blink of an eye, wanting to convey courage while remaining cautious, wishing never to part from the child and at the same time wanting to be away for hours. Thus, one learns that to survive this vital upheaval, humor is essential—lots of humor. And, of course, a healthy overdose of love.

La Diversa previously performed at FITAG before the pandemic with the play Monólogos de la vagina. It is a theatre company founded in 2017 within the Casino de Calaf cultural association, and has staged various productions such as La casa de Bernarda Alba, Germans de sang, Aigua deshidratada, Vuit dones, and most recently the stage adaptation of the book La mare que t’ha parit: Diari d’una mare inexperta by Elisenda Soriguera Farrés.
