Seis intérpretes y un pianista ocuparán el escenario del Cafè-Teatre Llantiol del Raval de Barcelona, con el espectáculo navideño Cal que nevi? Una obra que cuenta historias de gente que ama y que odia la Navidad, de las familias que las disfrutan y las que no, de los que las disfrutan con ilusión y los que las consideran unas fechas cualquiera. Todo ello a través de villancicos de todas las procedencias, americanos, británicos, franceses, castellanos y catalanes. Una celebración de la Navidad a través de una de sus facetas más características, su música. Desde Jingle Bells hasta Los peces en el río, pasando por El noi de la mare.
