L'ignoscenta : Tragedia en tres quadros by Joan Puig i Ferreter
QR code
L'ignoscenta by Joan Puig i Ferreter is a tragic stage play written in the early 20th century. Set in a Pyrenean castle in the late 17th century, it probes honor, vengeance, and the devastating consequences of sexual violence and buried family ties. Anxious after his daughter Dorotea vanishes, the old noble Pacià waits as search parties scour the countryside. Dorotea returns at last, pale and rigid, and tells her husband Pere d’Ildevert
and her father that a stranger abducted and assaulted her in a cave; at dawn he recognized her by a medallion of her mother, cried for pardon, and killed himself. When the body is brought to the castle, Pacià recognizes the dead man as his long-lost son—Dorotea’s brother—who, consumed by hatred of Ildevert, had vowed to harm the woman he married, unaware she was his own sister until too late. Faced with the horror, Dorotea takes her own life, and Ildevert, shattered, begs forgiveness as the tragedy closes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
