| Summary |
"El cor del poble: Drama en tres actes" by Ignasi Iglesias is a play written in the early 20th century. The drama unfolds in a working-class neighborhood of Barcelona, focusing on the characters' daily struggles and interactions that explore themes of familial ties, societal expectations, and personal aspirations. The opening of the play introduces us to a modest room where the main character, Madrona, prepares for the evening's festivities, alluding to her husband Passarell's involvement in a choir performance. Through dialogue between Madrona and a young neighbor, Xic, we learn about Madrona's concerns for her household and her son, Fidel. As the conversation develops, we are introduced to the complex web of relationships and character dynamics that will shape the narrative. The arrival of Don Albert brings a significant twist, as he reveals to Madrona that Fidel’s biological mother is alive and wishes to acknowledge him, leading to underlying tension within the household. The scenes are rich with emotion, reflecting the characters’ aspirations and their connections to each other as they navigate their socio-economic environment.
