Els Teatres del Farró –made up of La Gleva and La Fàbrica– aim to consolidate the production and co-production of small and medium-format shows with remarkable artistic value. "We are not interested in disposable culture at all –remarked Albert de la Torre, its artistic director, this Monday during the season's presentation–. If we believe a production is extraordinary, it should be possible to see it again. It can't be that we let it die".

Defeatism with the language gets us nowhere. Catalan is alive. Life is always unstable. It serves almost everything: literature, cinema, journalism, education, science, politics... Presenting both service and battle. Rapid foreign demographic growth has weakened its relative position, but in absolute terms there are more speakers than ever. Pessimism, therefore, is only relatively justified. Optimism as a method is more effective than the dramatic fatalism that is eating away at us, that paralyzes us. It's not about denying the complex reality or the glaring weaknesses (justice, business, the street), but about looking at it with different eyes. About shedding the heavy burden of victimizing, not to say catastrophic, negativity that, in effect, is leading us to catastrophe.
