<\/p>\n

The Teatre Nacional de Catalunya presents La corona d\u2019espines<\/em> (The Crown of Thorns<\/em>), one of the great tragedies of Catalan theatre, written by Josep Maria de Sagarra in 1930 and now revived and rediscovered by Xavier Albert\u00ed, who also signs the musical composition. The play will be on stage at the TNC\u2019s Sala Gran from 13 November to 21 December.<\/p>\n

Set in Solsona at the end of the 18th century, the story follows the intrigues surrounding a marriage arrangement between an heiress and a young orphan, blending financial interests, suspicion and hidden passions. Between honour, power, impossible love and social hypocrisy, Sagarra crafts a tragedy that becomes a deep critique of the society of his time.<\/p>\n

The production features a stellar cast including Manel Barcel\u00f3, Jan D. Casablancas, Jordi Dom\u00e8nech, Abel Folk, Oriol Gen\u00eds, \u00c0ngels Gonyalons, Pau Oliver, J\u00falia Roch, Laia Valls, Rosa Vila and Roger Vil\u00e0, who bring to life characters torn between morality and desire, duty and freedom.<\/p>\n

Written during a historical moment of transition \u2014between the end of Primo de Rivera\u2019s dictatorship and the proclamation of the Republic\u2014 and set in 1793, at the time of the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, La corona d\u2019espines<\/em> reflects the clash between old orders and new times, and the enduring weight of history upon individuals.<\/p>\n

With this revival, Xavier Albert\u00ed brings back one of Sagarra\u2019s most brilliant poetic works, a play that explores themes such as violence against women\u2019s bodies, fatherhood and redemption, reaffirming the relevance and power of the playwright\u2019s voice in contemporary theatre.<\/p>\n
