Viva! The Chatty Company

“More than 50 years ago, in a small village in Castile, José, my grandfather, killed Maria, my grandmother. I found out about it many years later, almost by chance. ” VIVA! is a true story—that of a Spanish family torn apart by the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship. On stage, a desk. In its drawers, objects: chalk, tape, a stapler, a pencil sharpener... will attempt to piece together history. Without ever forgetting the redemptive power of humor, VIVA! explores the weight of silences, the collective responsibility lurking within individual actions, and celebrates the ability of a society—and a family—to heal and transform itself. This show won three awards at the Lleida Festival in 2024 (Spain), was ranked among the top 10 shows by El País (2025), and received the award for best documentary show at the FETEN fair (2026). The bar opens 1.5 hours before the show starts and offers gourmet snacks in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
