En la Francia ocupada por los nazis, el admirable chelista catalán Pau Casals, exiliado en Prades y retirado de los conciertos, se atrevió a oponer su negativa a la invitación que en 1943 le dirigió el Tercer Reich para que tocara ante el Führer en Berlín. A partir de este hecho real, Yolanda García Serrano y Juan Carlos Rubio han creado una pieza de gran eficacia comunicativa, en la que el músico, modelo de dignidad y resistencia ante la barbarie, ha de medirse con los intentos de Johann Grass, un oficial alemán, de hacerle cambiar de idea. El presente trabajo se centra en la manera en la que se desarrolla el duelo verbal, emotivo e ideológico entre Pau y Johann, con el fin de destacar cómo el personaje del oficial nazi, en un giro final inesperado, acaba desempeñando el papel de deus ex machina.
In Nazi-occupied France, the remarkable Catalan cellist Pau Casals, exiled in Prades and retired from performing, dared to refuse the 1943 invitation from the Third Reich to play before the Führer in Berlin. Based on this actual event, Yolanda García Serrano and Juan Carlos Rubio wrote a highly effective communicative play in which the musician, a model of dignity and resistance in the face of barbarism, must confront the attempts of Johann Grass, a German officer, to change his mind. This work focuses on how the verbal, emotional, and ideological duel between Pau and Johann unfolds, highlighting how the character of the Nazi officer, in an unexpected final twist, ends up playing the role of deus ex machina.
