On opening night, Maria José Balañá, manager of three large Barcelona theaters, was in the audience. She was captivated and felt a strong desire that this talent and effort wouldn't die there. "I thought it was amazing. There's talent, there's hard work, there's a brutal intensity. As we were leaving, I told them, 'If you want to revive it, count us in.'" Bitò's producer, Josep Domènech, also attended: "I was blown away. It's emotion, it's magic, it's fantastic," he says. He immediately looked for who was behind it and called them: "If you ever want to do it in a private theater, let's talk." Andreu Buenafuente and Sílvia Abril also attended, and they were "blown away." They asked Mercè Puy, the producer at El Terrat, who had known the project from the beginning, to fight to bring it back.</p>]]></description>
