Gabriel Janer Manila is the author of He jugat amb els llops (2010), a work that won the 36 Premi Joaquim Ruyra de narrativa juvenil. This staging, which is now being presented at the XXXV Mostra de Teatre, is produced by Produccions de Ferro through the Paraula Festival and Mallorca Literària.
He jugat amb els llops tells the novel story of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja (Añera, 1946), a boy who, when he was not yet 7 years old, was sold by his father to a landowner in Andalusia, in the middle of the war, to take care of a herd of goats in a lost valley of Sierra Morena.
There he meets an old shepherd, Damià, who teaches him to survive and soon after disappears, leaving Marcos alone for more than 12 years, until the Guardia Civil returns him to civilization.
With dramaturgy and direction by Jaume Miró, He jugat amb els llops is performed by Caterina Alorda, Agnès Llobet and Joan Antoni Sunyer and is part of the program of the XXXIV Mostra de Teatre held at the Roman Theater of Pol·lèntia.
