Berga’s centenary “Pastorets”

The first week of January 2019, boys and girls resident of the therapeutic and educative School CTE Valldaura, accompanied by their educators, attended the representation of the “Pastorets” (old Christmas performance about the birth of Jesus) of the city of Berga (Barcelona).

Most of our residents have never seen a representation of “pastorets”, and even less “The Cradle of Jesus”, the version of Frederic Soler (theatrical author known by the alias Serafí Pitarra), which is represented in Berga since 1900. In addition, one of the peculiarities that make this representation unique is that the text is written in ancient Catalan, prior to the Pompeu Fabra’s linguistic normalization at the beginning of the 20th century.
