La Veronal

Based on an unfinished (but not incomplete) novel by Catalan author Mercè Rodoreda, Marcos Morau and La Veronal delve into the depths of a dark imagination to build an allegory about creative freedom, social commitment and the ability that art offers us to confront the anguish of the creation-destruction cycle in which we are immersed.

La mort i la primavera is today considered Rodoreda’s masterpiece – a dark star and a scar difficult to hide, from which La Veronal and its team work to build a radically current work committed to her legacy and to the present. Embracing the duality and attraction between death and rebirth, they create a universe between the human and the sacred, the spiritual and the animal; a work that wants to beat from sadness and rage but also from resistance, and a look at the stages of life that puts us in front of the illusions of the past, resonates in the present, and fights to be the seed of a future that is increasingly difficult to imagine.
