After more than twenty years creating, writing, and directing all kinds of television formats, she admits that her ironic bio might need an update. "I think television and the <em>mainstream </em>Now they are much more highly regarded, especially by the younger generations. When I was a student, I looked down on television because it was associated with people who worked frivolously and in a yellow way," explains Sanjuán, who confesses that he studied audiovisual communication because "he wanted to be Jean-Luc Godard," like all his classmates. Now things have changed. "Every time I've looked for an apartment, I've seen that I've seen that I've seen that. You mention key names, like <em>Operation Triumph</em>, people already find you funny," he says.</p>]]></description>

"Do you want me to add anything to the interview?" I asked when I heard the news. He asked for a moment to think, and, shaken by the loss, finally replied: "It's better not to say anything." The pain is more than understandable, as their lives and their stories can only be understood when they are intertwined. And they begin on a train, the journey they shared to travel from Canet to Barcelona when they were two teenagers. It is on these journeys that La Trinca is born, it is from La Trinca that they are shown on television, and it is from these television appearances that they create Gestmusic, which would eventually become a true giant of audiovisual production. During the 1990s, they were the brains behind some of the most successful programs in the history of television, and in fact, Cruz was still at the forefront, having led the transformation of Barça One for three years. "I don't want to do TV anymore," says Mainat, a producer, singer, and much more. A great lover of science, he wrote the book "Barça One" years ago. <em>Optimistic Science</em> (Grijalbo publishing house) and is preparing to write specifically about science for the ARA. He debuts as a columnist with the section <em>The Child's Things</em>, which will be published on weekends in the summer paper, and has also been the focus of recent crime stories due to the attempted murder he suffered at the hands of his ex-wife, Angela Dobrowolski.</p>]]></description>

Castings are currently underway.<em>Operation Triumph</em> And in Barcelona, a total of 1,600 people, mostly young, waited for ten o'clock to arrive so they could start singing in front of the show's team. Waiting for their big moment, some candidates timidly fine-tuned their voices, while others kept their eyes glued to their phones or hugged their competitors as if the casting were a shared feat.</p>]]></description>
