Això no té remei. The trementinaire-inspired podcast

Això no té remei is an immersive journey between past and present. Inspired by the trementinaires of the Vansa and Tuixén valleys who sold medicinal herbal remedies, the show attempts to highlight the value of popular wisdom, rootedness in the territory and oral transmission as antidotes against the disconnection of our times.

In the format of a live podcast, with humour and the active participation of the public in each place we visit, the piece is a unique meeting point where we collect remedies, stories and complicities. A final twist to the piece, the interview with a healer, chosen specifically from each territory we visit, invites us to observe, smell and listen. In a fast-paced, individualistic society, perhaps the real remedy is to reconnect in community.

The show Això no té remei premiered at the Fira Mediterrània de Manresa in 2025.
