Joan Dausà brings 'The Great Madness' to Filmin

BarcelonaA year ago, Joan Dausà fulfilled his madness and made his dream come true. He managed to fill the Palau Sant Jordi with more than 16,000 people and the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid with more than 11,000 spectators. Legends like Joan Manel Serrat and Lluís Llach are among the few soloists to have filled the Sant Jordi with Catalan. This October 28th, a documentary about the Catalan musician born in Sant Feliu de Llobregat premieres on Filmin. It reviews his story and explains what it was like to fill these two great venues.

The production, directed by Pol Fuentes, aims to show the corridors and dressing rooms of these days leading up to the film: the nerves, the anxiety to make it happen as it should, and Dausà's way of doing things are the highlights of this 75-minute piece. The premiere takes place this Monday at the In-Edit Festival in Barcelona with the presence of the singer and director. In addition to the technical and production team's participation during filming, other well-known faces also appear, such as Antonio Díaz, better known as El Mago Pop; Catalan actress Clara Segura; Love of Lesbian singer Santi Balmes; Risto Mejide; Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique; and journalist Laura Rosel, among others. They all mention anecdotes about Dausà or his particularities on and off stage.

Born in Sant Feliu de Llobregat in 1979, his story begins as a leisure monitor. In the documentary, Dausà explains how the time spent with the guitar was the most rewarding. From there, he studied business administration and management because "I didn't know what to do," and after a while, he enrolled at the Barcelona theater school and signed up for every possible casting call. One of the jobs made him popular with the kids, as he played the character Krust at the Super3 Club, which allowed him to "gain experience." I never never was her group's debut album in 2012 and also their most recognized song to date. She later released the albums Now we are giants and We have it all. The concerts of the Santfeliuense are characterized by the fact that he always prepares something for his shows, such as throwing himself into the audience – which one day caused him to injure his legs and back –, putting a button in the middle of the stage to radically change the atmosphere and make it a party for thirty seconds or trying to get two people to like each other and do match in front of 16,000 people.
