This morning, the Rose Culture Advisor, Silvia Ripoll, presented the new program of the Municipal Theater for the January-May 2024 season. The humorous monologue Per fi sol! by Carles Sans (tricycle); Adaptation of the concert directed by Sergey Bulbul, with a cast of fine artists; The shocking Gurría in the media trial of the “La Manada” case; And L’auca del senyor Esteve, the result of the creation process that can be seen in the Televisió de Catalunya program “La Puntual;” are the highlights of the new program that will also include children’s theatre, music and dance.
Finally alone! The solo project of Carles Sans, a member of the legendary Tricicle company, will begin the new theater program at Roses on January 28. After the indefinite hiatus announced by the company and 40 years of acting in silence, Sans takes the word and combines it with his gestural expressions to tell funny secrets and professional and personal stories that no one knows, which he lived during all these years of his career. Finally alone! It is a collection of confessions, a ‘synthesis’ of Tricicle’s life based on true events, in which the actor combines words and gestures to paint a gallery of characters that create an endearing empathy between actor and audience. Tickets go on sale on Thursday, December 21st.
On February 25, Sally Potter’s acclaimed film The Party will arrive at the Teatre Municipal, written and directed by Sergi Bulbul and with a magnificent cast: Ángeles Junialons, Bel Duran, Marta Ribera, Keralt Casayas, Montse Gualar, Jordi Díaz and Luis Soler. The party is the epitome of high comedy, as what begins as a friendly celebration ends in unexpected fashion when the guests reveal surprising news. Conversations between friends about life’s dilemmas revolving around all sorts of issues, from the health care system, to the hypocrisy of a certain breed of intellectuals, professional progressives, and wealthy figures who, when the truth comes out, are the very opposite of what they make others (and even themselves) see.
The stunning, multi-award winning band Jauría will be performing at Roses on March 2. Directed by Miguel del Arco and written by Jordi Casanovas, it is a documentary narrative created from the transcripts of the media trial of the five accused and the victim in the “La Manada” case, dealing with the events that took place in Pamplona. The night of July 6, 2016. A case that left a mark before and after, and shook the concept of masculinity, consent, and sexual assault in our society.
Another highlight of the season is L’Auca’s representation of Mister Esteve, by Santiago Rusiñol, which will arrive at Roses on May 5. The show, directed by Angel Lasser, is the result of the creation process seen in the program “La Puntual” on Televisió de Catalunya. A montage with a completely faithful adaptation of the original text, which reflects the values of society at the end of the nineteenth century and has as its thematic focus the confrontation between the artist and society.
Apart from the presence of big names from the national scene, the cultural offer of the Teatro Municipal de Roses will remain true to its commitment to amateur theater in the regions of Girona. This program will include Allò que hém les éreres by Tequatre, while Roses Theater will present Politically Incorrect in March and will premiere a play, yet to be determined, next May.
