Synopsis "Cielos (in Spanish)"

Cielos se abre con una voz, captada y decodificada entre los millonesde voces que pueblan el cielo virtual de los mensajes online. Esa voz, que habla en nombre de los hijos devorados por todas las guerras delsiglo xx, culpa a los padres de la sangre derramada de generaciones yamenaza con una venganza devastadora: un atentado terrorista deins¢litas dimensiones. Pero, como en el mito de Casandra, esa voz quehabla de la sangre derramada por los hijos por mandato de los padres,esa voz que proclama la venganza de los hijos multiplic ndose en voces que hablan en todos los idiomas, no puede ser entendida por quieneshan sido precisamente comisionados por los m s altos poderes delEstado para descifrarla.

Con Cielos se cierra la tetralog¡a La sangre de las promesas, cuyostres primeros t¡tulos, Litoral, Incendios y Bosques han sidopublicados en esta misma colecci¢n.

The author, director, and actor Wajdi Mouawad is one of the most relevant French-speaking playwrights and writers in the current scene. He has been translated into more than twenty languages and performed on all five continents. Born in 1968 in Lebanon, where the civil war forced his family to seek refuge in Beirut, and later in France and Quebec. A graduate of the National School of Dramatic Art of Canada, he currently directs the National Theater of the Colline in Paris. At the Avignon festival, he developed his famous tetralogy The Blood of Promises, consisting of the plays Litoral, Fires, Forests, and Heavens. His body of work, committed to denouncing major contemporary atrocities, has earned him the Grand Prize for Theater from the French Academy. Many of his works have been presented on the Catalan stage by the company La Perla 29. The most recent is Tots ocells (All Birds) (2024), a tragedy directed by Oriol Broggi, about the weight of family legacies on the painful border between love and hate of prejudices. His novel Ánima (Destino, 2014; Edicions del Periscopi, 2014) was awarded various prizes, including the Llibreter prize.
