EN PERE
LLAURANT
Part de fora es va sentir un espatec d'ales, i el cant vibrant d'un gall es caragolà briosament enlaire… un clocleig d'innombrables tons li va contestar, i gairebé al mateix temps una veu de dona, fresca i clara, va cridar pel pany de la porta:
LA FLOR DE FAJOL
VESPRADA
LA BROTADA
LA VENTADA - I
LA CADENA
ÍNTIMA
DEL MAR
A restless young man named Pere drifts through a quiet, sun‑lit village, his thoughts tangled in bitterness and restless anger. The narrative paints the narrow streets, the distant purple‑hued hills, and the slow rhythm of everyday life, all tinged with a lingering sense of unease. As he walks, fragments of past celebrations and whispered grudges echo in his mind, hinting at a deeper grievance that drives him forward.
Pere’s internal monologue is a storm of sarcasm, self‑justification, and feverish imagination, centered on a figure called Jaumet. The story follows his uneasy trek toward a confrontation that feels both inevitable and absurd, with the village’s murmurs and the occasional burst of vivid, almost lyrical language heightening the tension. Listeners will be drawn into Pere’s conflicted psyche, experiencing the clash between ordinary surroundings and the turbulent thoughts that threaten to erupt at any moment.
