The creation of the National Theatre of Catalonia Company is one of the projects that will be promoted by the new artistic director of the TNC, Josep Maria Mestres. "It is a project that I am particularly excited about," said Mestres during the presentation of the main lines he wants to implement at the facility starting from the 2027-2028 season, which will be the first he will direct completely after taking over from Carme Portaceli. The company will consist of twelve professional performers under 35 years of age: six actresses and six actors, selected in an open audition process. Only in shows that require it will there also be external collaborators of various ages. Each cohort will last for two seasons and, during this time, the performers will be hired on a stable basis.

"The theater is the place where humanity confronts itself," Jordi Bosch solemnly declares. We won't know for sure, but it's one of Arthur Miller's most famous quotes and one of the lines uttered by the protagonist of Death of a Comedian, Guillem Clua's show that premieres at the Romea Theater in Barcelona, ​​​​where it can be seen from March 21 to July 1. Clue changes Death of a Salesman, the most famous title by the American playwright, in a show that is "a love letter to the theater," he says, because it celebrates the power of theatrical fiction in our lives and also because the text is interwoven with phrases, scenes, authors and works that have marked his career and the history of universal theater. A dramaturgical game that gives the piece its due and turns it, in the process, into a Trivial Pursuit that will excite spectators, both the most experienced and the most laymen; those who don't want to miss any references will find them detailed in the edition published by Arola.
