  "Ja hi van al África : Pessa patriótica en un acte by J. A. Ferrer Fernández" is a patriotic one-act play written in the mid-19th century. The piece, composed in verse, stages a civic send-off for Catalan volunteers heading to the African campaign, blending martial zeal, communal pride, and intimate family feeling. Set in Barcelona during a time of mobilization, the action opens in a public square where D. Lluís and local youths praise the surge of enlistments. Jaume, an elderly farmer, is refused as too old, while his son Jordi prepares to depart; Margarida fears for him, and Doloretas—Jordi's young wife and cantinière—vows to accompany him bravely. The scene shifts to the waterfront thronged with townspeople, vendors, officials, and musicians. Rousing speeches exalt Catalonia and Spain as the volunteers, bearing a banner of the Virgin of Montserrat, are blessed by family and cheered by choruses of women and men. After emotional farewells and vows of courage, Jordi leads the call to embark. Amid music, salutes, and cannon fire, the volunteers board the boats and depart for Africa, leaving the city echoing with proud goodbyes.

  "Aigües encantades" by Joan Puig i Ferreter is a Catalan stage drama written in the early 20th century. Set in a mountain village gripped by drought, it pits religious tradition and sacred legends about "enchanted" waters against a modern, rational bid to capture and distribute that water. The central figures include the rebellious student-teacher Cecilia, her devout parents Pere Amat and Juliana, the wavering schoolmaster Vergés, the forceful priest Mossèn Gregori, and a persuasive outsider who promises practical salvation. The result is a charged portrait of faith, fear, progress, and community power. The opening of the play presents a tense home scene: while bells toll for a penitential procession, Cecilia rejects the village's rites, sparring with Vergés and clashing bitterly with her authoritarian father and sorrowful mother. News spreads of a well-spoken foraster who claims the village can draw real water from the supposedly sacred pools, and Mossèn Gregori quietly prepares to neutralize him. A scandal erupts when Amat reports that Cecilia has publicly embraced the newcomer, hardening his resolve against her. In the next scene, at the shepherd Romanill's courtyard, villagers gather; the batlle and Amat try to intimidate the host, but a crowd floods in as the outsider—an engineer—insists he brings peace and a practical plan, not an assault on belief. The people waver between curiosity and hostility as he begins to explain that the "enchanted" waters are living and accessible, and the confrontation remains unresolved as tensions crest.
