  "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.

  "La Sirena" by Josep Pin i Soler is a drama written in the late 19th century. Set between a Catalan fishing village and a Barcelona shipping office during the era of the clandestine slave trade, it follows the formidable captain Grabat (Pau Cendra), his steadfast daughter Marieta, and the vain armador Don Luisito, with the innkeeper Pitera and the crew's families tightening the human knot around them. The likely focus is on honor, desire, and complicity as private grudges and colonial business interests push a community toward moral and personal reckoning. The opening of the play shows a village beach preparing to bless the slave ship Sirena before departure. Amid teasing and small-town bustle, Pitera confronts Grabat about their affair and insinuates he killed her husband, pressuring him to promise marriage; he refuses, and she vows revenge while her brother Gatneu signs on as the ship's cook. Don Luisito arrives to toast the voyage and clumsily court Marieta, drawing a protective rebuke from her father. The ship is blessed, farewells are tearful, and Grabat sails. The scene then shifts to the Barcelona office, where clerks and the cautious manager Joanet reveal uncertainty over the Sirena's route and warn Don Luisito against troubling Marieta. When women from Port-nou—Marieta, her blind grandfather, and others—arrive seeking news and aid, Joanet distributes money and discreetly hints the vessel may have gone beyond the Cape toward East Africa, while everyone awaits word of its fate.
