We were not facing the same The Weeknd that occupied the same Olympic Stadium Lluís Companys 2023. Although the tour and the space were the same, and the musical proposal had only incorporated a recent album —Affrettati domani (2025), which completes the trilogy with which it seemed to want to close an entire era, and even say goodbye to thealter ego of Abel Tesfaye—, it was hard to recognize the man who a few years ago enchanted with such forcefulness.

Laia Giralt dances in front of thousands of people every time there is a concert by The Weeknd. For example, she will do so on September 1st at the Estadi Lluís Companys in Barcelona, because since 2022 she has been part of the Canadian artist's tour's dance team. Born in Vilanova i la Geltrú, trained in London, and residing in Los Angeles, Giralt takes advantage of a free moment to speak with ARA by phone.
