In 2011 they debuted with their first full theatre performance in Teatre Municipal de Banyoles. Júlia?,[9] with Clàudia Cedó as a director, is an original play inspired in 1984 by George Orwell that they define as a tragicomedy about social networks.[2] In 2013 they released De petits tots matàvem formigues (We all used to kill ants when we were kids)[10] again directed by Clàudia Cedó, in Factoria d'Arts Escèniques. This second work, also an original, is a western with a touch of Film noir.[11] Both works have also been played in Girona: Júlia? in Centre Cultural la Mercè[12] and De petits tots matàvem formigues in Sala La Planeta.[13]
