Child with three women in a rural setting, symbolizing motherhood and childhood.

The Olesa de Montserrat City Council presents the children's show 'Matres' at the Teatre El Casal, an award-winning play exploring motherhood, illness, and life through the story of a boy and three women.

The children's show 'Matres' narrates the growth of a boy in a small village, surrounded by birds, chamomile flowers, and three women: his mother, aunt, and grandmother. These three generations, Jordi's 'mothers', are at the heart of a story that addresses motherhood, illness, and death, but with a primary focus on life.
The theatrical piece deals with the loss of a mother during childhood, blending difficulties and humor naturally. It is presented as a story of love, adventure, overcoming challenges, and even 'flying espadrilles', under the concept of 'Mothers and three: Matres'.

A story of love, adventure, overcoming challenges, and flying espadrilles.

The play has received several accolades: the Award for Best Authorship at FETEN 2025, the award for Best Family Show at the Critics' Awards for Performing Arts 2025, and the Audience Award at the Mostra d’Igualada 2025.
The event is organized by La Xarxa. Tickets can be purchased through Vivetix.
