The article highlights the latest theatrical adaptation of Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning play 'How I Learned to Drive,' which delves into the complexities of familial abuse and personal growth. Set in a confined space, the play uses the metaphor of learning to drive as a transition from adolescence to adulthood, particularly emphasizing the cultural specifics of American society that resonate universally. Directed by Marilia Samper and translated into Catalan by Helena Tornero, the production captures both the intricate emotional landscape of the characters and the societal issues at play. The character of the protagonist represents the struggles faced by many women who have been subjected to familial abuse, as she remains unnamed, illustrating her role as the 'little thing' in her family dynamic. Mireia Aixalà’s performance is particularly noted for bringing depth to this unnamed character, creating a poignant connection with the audience. The production at Sala Beckett showcases how the themes from over 30 years ago are still relevant today, highlighting the timeless nature of Vogel's work in addressing issues such as trauma and survival. This adaptation not only reignites interest in Vogel's original text but also serves as a companion piece to ongoing discussions about the depiction of abuse in media and its implications. It invites audiences to reflect on their perspectives toward such critical societal issues, reigniting conversations that are essential for fostering understanding and change.
