The return of 'Band of Brothers' and an American football series: what you can't miss this week

The week ahead, with Alejandra Palés

Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I'll go Let's see the new setup of Blood brothersAt the Condal Theatre. It's one of the great musicals of London's West End, a tragic story about two brothers separated at birth that was already seen in Catalonia in the 1990s. That production, starring, among others, Àngels Gonyalons, Roger Pera, and Gemma Brió, was groundbreaking. The new version, directed and updated by Daniel Anglès, aspires to be a new milestone for Catalan-language musicals.

I will have dinner At La Chana bar, very close to the Condal Theatre. It's a tiny place that excels in its selection of Andalusian tapas. Nothing better after a good musical than enjoying a good tapa. pringá roll, one of the restaurant's specialties.

I will visit the exhibition Rodoreda, a forestAt the CCCB. Curated by Neus Penalba, the exhibition delves into the world of writer Mercè Rodoreda and challenges some of the stereotypes surrounding her. The exhibition places the author's literary work in dialogue with visual and audiovisual works by artists from different eras, and also incorporates original documents from the Mercè Rodoreda Foundation archives, photographs, and works by contemporary artists.

The week that ends, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets

Notes on what we have seen, heard, tasted and, in short, experienced in the last seven days

I'm back let's see When Harry Met Sally in honor of the director Rob Reiner, who was found dead, was murdered along with his wife, Michele Singer.Last Monday. The film continues to stand as a great romantic comedy, intelligent and with brilliant dialogue thanks to the script by the much-missed Nora Ephron, who, with her characteristic lightness and humor, presented us with a love story between two friends, played by Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. A film that is a refuge from the horror of the news.

I have celebrated that Filmin has recovered the fantastic series Friday light nightsOne of the best sports dramas ever made, this series, nominated for 13 Emmy Awards, revolves around the American football team of a small town in Texas, USA, where the sport is a religion. The central figure of the coach, along with his family and the entire team, allows the show to explore social issues in a series that is far more profound than it initially appears.

I bought the book Opposition (Anagrama), by Sara Mesa, one of my favorite contemporary authors. After the fantastic A love and The family, The author now places us in the world of public administration. The protagonist secures a temporary administrative position and must prepare herself to obtain a job for life. Although the subject matter might not deter some readers, Mesa manages to captivate from the first page with her critical and irreverent perspective, mercilessly scrutinizing the absurdity of the bureaucratic system.

I haven't been able to stop thinking in the death of Héctor AlterioA tremendous actor, he leaves us an impressive legacy of films, series, and plays to which we can always return to remember his gentle smile. Of all the films he made, one I remember most fondly is The bride's sonwith Ricardo Darín and Norma Aleandro. Alterio played the husband of a woman with Alzheimer's who, along with his son, fought to fulfill her dream before she died: to get married in a church.
