Àngels Gonyalons takes on the role of Oscar Wilde to defend El retrat de Dorian Gray against the attacks of the criticism of her time, and it is through her voice that we see all the characters of the controversial novel. She is Dorian, the young man who feels envy of the beauty of his own portrait and makes a pact with the devil to preserve his youth eternally. She is Basyl Hayward, the painter of the controversial portrait. She is Sybil Vane, the young actress whom Dorian falls in love with. But above all, she is Lord Henry, the depraved dandy who accompanies Dorian in his descent into hell, while his portrait transforms monstrously. The cult of youth and narcissistic individualism that lie at the heart of the piece resonate today, in a world like ours, governed by aesthetics and obsessed with the latest novelty. With dramaturgy and direction by Marc Rosich, and original music by Jordi Cornudella, the work is a tour de force for the actress. Supported by a male vocal trio and the accompaniment of a string quintet, the proposal makes text and music hold hands in a delicate chamber piece. Artistic details: Stage direction and dramaturgy: Marc Rosich Musical direction and composition: Jordi Cornudella. Performers: Àngels Gonyalons, Jordi Vidal, Pau Oliver and Pol Blancafort
