The plays of the Romea Theater in Barcelona

The Romea Theater was built in 1863 as a private theater. His initial name was Teatre Català, because his intention was to represent works mainly in Catalan, and the public he wanted to address were the popular classes and the petty bourgeoisie of Barcelona. The Teatre Català was one of the most important cultural spaces of expression in Catalan and only from 1939 to 1945 were no works represented in this language. The Romea Theater, currently managed by the Grup Focus under the artistic direction of Josep Maria Pou, has become an artistic space, which takes risks with innovative and entertaining proposals. Provoke and move to reflection are also the hallmarks of this contemporary production center.
