Two young brothers have their first contact with death.

The libretto is by Mussorgsky himself and takes the eponymous “romantic tragedy” by the celebrated Russian poet Alexander Pushkin as its starting point. Boris Godunov is Mussorgsky’s masterpiece and his only complete opera. It’s a vast sprawling tapestry of Russian life, which centres on the Russian people – represented in the opera by a large and powerful chorus – rather than on the title figure. The staging was produced at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona and is based on the original version of the score.

The documentary Gregorio Ordóñez, el asesinato que despertó la rebelión contra ETA is an exercise of memory recalling the figure of the People's Party councillor and Deputy Mayor of San Sebastián on the 30th year of his assassination. The production looks back at the circumstances of his attack, the context of the Basque Country and San Sebastián in particular in 1995 and the events that followed his murder.
