ALOMA from Mercè Rodoreda

On 24th April we decided to go to the theatre because this year in Batxillerat one Social we didn’t do a trip, we went only to the university fof Barcelona and Girona. That night we met in front of the theatre Jardí in Figueras; the Catalan and Spanish teachers and some students.
We watched the play from Mercè Rodoreda called 'Aloma'.

Aloma is the character main and she is a girl who lives in Barcelona with her brother who’s called Joan and his wife who’s called Anna and their son, Dani. Aloma and Joan had another brother but he committed suicide. Everybody lives in the house in Barcelona which Aloma and Joan inherit.

Anna’s brother, Robert come to Barcelona because he lives in Argentina. Aloma falls in love with him. Dani is ill and the doctor recommends that they would have go to a mountain. Anna and Dani, mother and on, go to a friend’s house in the mountain because Dani will get over the disease.

One day, Robert and Aloma go together to the cinema and afterwards Robert kisses Aloma, they fall in love and Joan didn’t realize it.
While the mother looks after her son, Joan link with Coral, a woman who is very beautiful and shallow. Then, Dani returns to his mother and he doesn’t recover and some days later he dies. At this moment, the family changes the house for a small and dirty flat because their economical situation was bad.

Finally, Robert goes off to South America and Aloma was very sad and she told sister-in-law that she was falling in love with her brother and she got pregnant and Anna doesn’t like the situation and Aloma leaves the flat. It’s sad situation but the play is wonderful!! I enjoyed it a lot!!

I recommend it to you!!
