Carai con The PiratesReduce the trilogy! The village Adapting Carlo Goldoni's great work into a 90-minute play while preserving all the energy, humor, and critique of the original must be no easy feat. And staging it with only four actors is a true acting challenge, which Núria Cuyàs, Ricard Farré, Laura Pau, and Arnau Puig overcome with virtuosity and great comedic flair under the ingenious and vibrant direction of Adrià Aubert.

They met in the most serendipitous way, back when social media didn't exist and finding young people who shared the same passion was a much slower process. Some of them had participated in Opera in Secondary School, an educational project that brought together students from various high schools in Barcelona to perform operas. When they finished, they wrote dedications in the scripts and exchanged phone numbers. Some time later, during recess, Adrià Aubert and a group of friends wanted to put on a musical, and since they needed people, he decided to go looking for those young people he had met in Opera in Secondary School. "I remember you called some of them on their landlines—there weren't cell phones back then—and their parents answered! And you sent others a letter," says Núria Cuyàs.
