Amazing Stage Plays
In 2011, El Vol del Pollastre showed their first full play. It was called Júlia? and was performed at the Teatre Municipal de Banyoles. Clàudia Cedó directed this play. It was an original story, but it got ideas from the famous book 1984 by George Orwell. The company described Júlia? as a tragicomedy, which means it has both funny and sad parts. It was all about social networks.
Their second play came out in 2013. It was named De petits tots matàvem formigues, which means We all used to kill ants when we were kids. Clàudia Cedó also directed this play. It was shown at Factoria d'Arts Escèniques in Banyoles. This play was also an original story. It was a western with a bit of Film noir style.
Both Júlia? and De petits tots matàvem formigues were also performed in Girona. Júlia? was shown at Centre Cultural la Mercè. De petits tots matàvem formigues was performed at Sala La Planeta.
