Actress Elena Ballester will perform the play Soc la Mercè next Sunday, March 8th, at Sala la Planeta in Girona, offering a blend of traditional customs and historical memory.

The performance, scheduled for 6:00 PM, tells the story of Mercè, a young woman from the countryside who moves to Barcelona to work as a maid for the high bourgeoisie. Through her eyes, the play creates a faithful chronicle of daily life during the Post-war period in Catalonia.
The production also highlights lesser-known historical facts, such as the actions of the Guerrilla Association of Catalonia. The show aims to balance emotional depth with humor, touching the audience's hearts while shedding light on the resistance movements of the time.
Tickets for the show in Girona are priced at 14 euros. Members of the Subscriber Club can access a special 2-for-1 promotion, with bookings open until Thursday, March 5th.
