Francesc Prat and Oriol Pla sign a piece about a young woman that gets into the bathtub and sinks slowly into the water, in what may be her last bath. On the way to the bathtub, the girl remembers her last visit to the unemployment office, she imagines how to redecorate the toilet with a new light, but above all, she finds objects that remind her of her last partner and they remind him of the episodes of abuse he experienced with him.

This piece should have premièred at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in the autumn of 2020, but the restrictions imposed due to the pandemic meant that it could only be streamed. It is part of Sis Solos Soles, an Opera de Butxaca i Nova Creació (ÒBNC) project which unites six monodramas for female voice and instrumentalist into a single performance. It was commissioned from six different librettist-composer teams. While exploring the bowels of a theatre, the audience discovers, through a sort of intimate confession, the tales underlying the different voices which are trapped in their respective home environments.

A production of Òpera de Butxaca i Nova Creació – ÒBNC, coproduction with Gran Teatre del Liceu
