Una nit de carnaval : Pessa en un acte y en vers

A raucous carnival night in Barcelona comes alive on a narrow street that doubles as a barber’s shop, where the ordinary and the absurd collide. When the curtain rises, the irascible barber Climent bursts onto the scene, swearing off foul language and hurling wildly poetic insults at unseen foes. Masks, garish costumes, and a chorus of onlookers swirl through the cramped stage, turning a simple shop into a fever‑dream of quarrels, vows, and slap‑stick bravado.

The dialogue crackles with rhythmic verse, slipping between bitter sarcasm and flamboyant bravado as characters argue over love, marriage, and the very nature of respectability. As the masked revelers close in on Climent, the tension builds not through hidden secrets but through the sheer exuberance of carnival chaos. Listeners are drawn into a vivid, theatrical tableau that celebrates the wild, unfiltered spirit of a night when anything can be shouted, sung, or sliced with a razor’s edge.
