Abstract
After a brief presentation of some interesting background information, such as Galicia’s close relationship with death, its treatment in children’s works and the educational potential of the theatrical genre, the play A pequena compaña, by Carlos Labraña, is discussed. This dramatic piece stands out for its de-dramatization of the wandering of lost souls towards their salvation, represented through the journey of a small company of four children who must overcome different challenges, in a race against the clock created thinking to the newest readers with large does of magic, humour and adventures.
