Sant Pere el Farsant

Bim! Bam! The bells ring and announce the story of Pere, a young anarchist who, more than brave, was reckless, more than cautious, he was a coward, and more of a fraud than a saint. A Holy Week tale in the form of a cantata, for four actresses and a small orchestra.

The night after a police operation, Pere, in a fit of bravado, sets out to either single-handedly free his arrested comrades or give his life in the attempt. On the way to the police station, drunk and out of control, haunted by memories of his triumphant militancy and feeling more alone than ever, he encounters public punishment at the hands of the authorities from one of his organization's comrades. Faced with the bloodied body of his martyred friend, Pere must decide whether to acknowledge him before everyone and face the same fate as him and his comrades or deny it and save his own skin. When Pere denies his friend, the gates of hell open in front of him, and one by one, the actors of a grand allegory emerge to make him pay the price for betraying his friends.
