Directions

Liberto is a powerful, intimate work by celebrated Spanish playwright Gemma Brió that transforms personal loss into a deeply human experience. Inspired by Brió’s own life, the play recounts the fifteen days her newborn son lived after suffering complications at birth. Onstage, three performers—two actors and a musician—embody dozens of characters, weaving together storytelling, music, and sharply observed moments of humor. Moving fluidly between tenderness, absurdity, and grief, Liberto resists easy sentimentality, instead offering an honest portrait of love.

Celebrated internationally for its courage and emotional clarity, Liberto is ultimately a celebration of life and a meditation on dignity in dying. It earned two Premios Butaca, a Serra d’Or Critics’ Prize, and nominations at the prestigious Premios Max. Both heartbreaking and life-affirming, Liberto invites audiences into a shared space of reflection—where pain is met with compassion, and love endures beyond loss.
