'L'Alegria que passa' is the big winner in the VI edition of the Barcelona Teatre Awards

Dagoll Dagom's show, L'Alegria que passa, has been the most awarded of the night with a total of three awards: Best Musical, Best Performance of a Musical for Àngels Gonyalons and Best Adaptation, an award shared with La trena - which also has won Best Director for Clara Segura. Dagoll Dagom has managed to revive with L'Alegria que passa the success already achieved when it premiered in 1898. The piece signed by Santiago Rusiñol, has also been recognized as Best Adaptation and will once again be programmed at the Teatre Poliorama. La trena, which compares this same recognition as Best Adaptation, highlights the work of Cristina Genebat and Marta Marco for knowing how to give a theatrical language to Laetitia Colombani's novel.

The public has awarded the awards for Best Show and Best Performance to Una noche sin luna, created and performed by Juan Diego Botto. With poetic and at the same time vindictive language, the monologue addresses the lesser-known aspects of Federico García Lorca's life and perfectly portrays the social reality of his time. The play has also been awarded Best Show after selling out tickets at the Sala Gran Teatre Nacional de Catalunya.

In the acting field, Ester Cort has also triumphed with the Best Supporting Performance for her role in Austràlia, a dramatic comedy that won the Best Proximity Show award and reflects on motherhood and family ties. The award for Best Original Text went to L’Illa deserta, by Marc Artigau - the comedy starring Miki Esparbé and Maria Rodríguez, produced by La Brutal, will once again have a season at La Villarroel.

The actress Mariona Esplugues has won the award for Best New Performance for her role in Boja, a show that is based on her experience lived for years in psychiatric consultations. Mar Puig and Mateu Peramiquel's musical, Alan, also deals with mental health issues and has won in the Best Family Show category. The proposal Nit de Reis, King's Night o el que vulgueu, by Parking Shakespeare and directed by Marta Aran, has been recognized as Best Street Show. The Best Proximity Musical went to Tres desitjos and the Best Hybrid Stage Show went to the Cultura i Conflicte Collective with Moriu-vos, directed by Joan Arqué and Sol Picó. The dance-theater show by Vero Cendoya's company has won the award for Best Dance Show with Parlem-ne, programmed in the dance cycle of the Sala Versus Glòries.
