Activity linked to the Bertrana Awards. Direction, space, and dramaturgy: Albert Reverendo. Interpretation: Mª Àngels Buisac, Laura Casamitjana, Aniol Fusté, and Jordi Garcia. Twenty years ago, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the publication of Josafat by Prudenci Bertrana, the Grup Proscenium, directed by Joan Ribas, performed a dramatized reading of an adaptation of the work, made by the same director, subtitled Un amor passional at the Catedral. Then, a century later, the announcement that the reading would take place still displeased a handful of privileged souls, and the event and Proscenium were banned from the Girona Town Festival programme, as the same Ribas stated, in aeternum. This year, the Fundació Bertrana co-produces with the same Grup Proscenium an adaptation of that text, a dramatized reading under the direction of Albert Reverendo Mascort at Sala La Planeta, on the occasion of the commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the publication of the novel and framed within the celebration of the Actes dels Premis Prudenci Bertrana 2026. This dramatized reading becomes a tribute to Joan Ribas. More information: Instagram of Sala La Planeta, Plataforma Girona Cultura.
