El romanço de Llorenç

El Romanço de Llorenç, performed by Pei Hwee Tan and Francesc Torrent, is a theatrical narration in two voices, of a possible story —between legendary tales and real life events– of the region of Penedès in Catalonia.

The two performers created and wrote the story after numerous sessions of meetings with the old people in the village of Llorenç del Penedès, together with intensive research into traditional songs and styles of storytelling from Catalonia.

El Romanço de Llorenç was presented in October 2011 as an event within the project Simbiòtic 2011 (produced by CRA’P and Portal Nou), a framework that proposed different work collaborations, seeking to develop distinct symbiotic relationships and exchanges between the artists and the people of Llorenç del Penedès.
