The Norwegian writer and playwright Jon Fosse (Haugesund, 1959), winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature, is the most performed living European playwright in the world. "He occupies an important place in the theatrical canon, he is not at all a minority figure," emphasizes director Ferran Utzet. Despite Fosse's impact on contemporary theatre, his works are rarely present on the Catalan stage. In recent years, there have been very few productions, including "Soc el vent" directed by Marc Chornet at L'Akadèmia in 2021 and "Vindrà algú" in 2002, directed by Antonio Simón at Sala Beckett. Now Utzet wants to do him justice with "El fill", which will be performed from May 8 to June 7 at L'Espai Lliure de Montjuïc. "I have a strong sense of challenge and responsibility," says the director.

Come on, the new novel by Jon Fosse, Nobel Prize winner for Literature 2023, immerses the reader in an atmosphere of introspection and silence, thanks to the writer's ability to construct a universe where time seems to stop and each moment dissolves into a spiral of sordid and delicate emotions at the same time. With this contemplative essence, the novel insists that life is a constant back and forth between presence and absence, between love and betrayal, and that in the end everyone is looking for a space where they can be accepted as they are, without masks or disguises.
