L'enemic

Based on “An Enemy of the People” by Henrik Ibsen. By José Martret. In Catalan.

The dramatist and director José Martret rekindles Henrik Ibsen’s political drama in his adaptation of the Norwegian classic.

L'enemic tells the story of Dr. Thomas Stockman, director of a health resort in a small city. This spa is, both directly and indirectly, the backbone of the city’s economic activity, and thus the inhabitants are dependent on its good functioning in order to keep on with the welfare system they live in since it was opened.

The doctor, with his scientific preciseness, discovers in an analysis that the waters that once made his spa famous, are now polluted. He has no doubt about his duty to make the discovery public, so that measures to solve the problem can be taken as soon as possible. This results in a terrible dispute. He is harassed by the political power, the commercial organizations, the media, and most of the city’s inhabitants, who fear the loss of the main source of their richness.
