OvellesWhat would you do if you inherited 512 sheep?
From September 25 to November 16, 2025’s most emblematic landmarks, the Espai Texas hosts the acclaimed comedy Ovelles, written and directed by Carmen Marfà and Yago AlonsoThe work poses a question as absurd as it is revealing: What would you do if you inherited 512 sheep?
Three urban siblings from Barcelona face this unusual inheritance, which, far from being a blessing, turns their lives, their frustrations, and their family relationships upside down.
Performed by Gemma Martínez, Ramon Pujol and Albert Triola, Ovelles is a Catalan-language comedy that reflects on precariousness, disconnection from the rural world, and the need to reinvent oneself. In a humorous vein, the play portrays a generation marked by the economic crisis, who share an apartment after turning 35, who have given up on their career dreams, and who live between messages of empowerment and realities that don't always allow for choice.
🎭 Theater with humor, criticism, and sheep
The action takes place over a single night, when the three brothers meet to decide what to do with the flock. But what seemed like a practical conversation turns into an emotional confrontation, revealing the fears, disappointments, and contradictions of a generation that has had to adapt to everything... except itself.
Ovelles It's a play that makes you laugh, think, and connect. The audience sees themselves reflected in its characters, in their doubts, in their contradictions. And it does so in a space like the Espai Texas, which focuses on Catalan-language theater, intelligent comedy, and proposals that speak to what truly matters.
