Amb la claredat augmenta el fred By Pep Tosar, based on My Prizes: An Accounting by Thomas Bernhard

A neoclassical comedy about Thomas Bernhard with Pep Tosar, Imma Colomer, and Evelyn Arévalo as protagonists. 

It is a well-known fact that the great Austrian writer, dramatist, melomaniac, and scourge of the far right ideologies Thomas Bernhard disliked recognitions and their unavoidable ceremonies. Such was the discomfort that he felt when receiving an award that he wrote about it in his posthumous work My Prizes: An Accounting. From this autobiographical testimonies, Pep Tosar creates a play closely following Bernhard’s features such as his obsessive intensity, weariness, and satire. 

The title Amb la claredat augmenta el fred is extracted from one of his acknowledgement speeches, which is so disconcerting and captivating as full of Bernhard’s most essential poetics at the same time. This play portrays anecdotes and courtesy words that make little to dissimulate his grumpy character and that show, through irony and comedy, the human and cultural miseries that surround us; miseries of which we all are accomplices.
