On September 6, the Grup Focus presented its new 2024-25 theater season. The event, which took place at the Goya Theater, brought together the protagonists of the season, the highest political representatives of culture such as the new Minister of Culture S\u00f2nia Hern\u00e1ndez Almod\u00f3var and the Councilor for Culture of the Barcelona City Council Xavier Marc\u00e9, as well as to prominent personalities and professionals from the world of culture and theater in which, as always, it became a true celebration of the performing arts.<\/p>\n
Daniel Mart\u00ednez de Obreg\u00f3n, President of Grup Focus, made public the official data for last season, authentic figures that, for the second consecutive year, have broken all records. In fact, during the 2023-24 season, a total of 471,000 spectators and 10.3 million euros in revenue were gathered, which represents an increase ratio of 11% over the previous season.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the COOLTIVA’T educational program, created four years ago, already has 18,000 young people who have attended 13 shows in 43 exclusive functions and, with \u00c0fora, the objectives have been more than met, finding and putting into practice new lines of socio-cultural participation.<\/p>\n
This season, which is articulated around the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Theater as a meeting point, Focus aims even higher and will present, in its four theaters, its own high-flying productions such as the new staging Un matrimoni de Boston<\/em> by David Mamet, mythical show that Josep Maria Mestres resumes 19 years later with Emma Vilarasau, Marta Marco and Emma Arquillu\u00e9 in La Villarroel; Un sogre de lloguer<\/em> by Susanna Garachana and Jaume Vi\u00f1as, a hilarious comedy of affairs starring Joan Pera and the contemporary classic by Yasmina Reza Un d\u00e9u salvatge<\/em> directed and starring Pere Arquillu\u00e9 at the Teatre Goya; Mort d’un comediant<\/em>, a tribute to the actor’s craft written by Guillem Clua and starring Jordi Bosch, as well as Voltaire \/ Rousseau. La disputa<\/em> by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Pr\u00e9vand, the critical and public success that marked the return of Josep Maria Flotats to the Catalan scene at the Teatre Romea and Escape Room 2<\/em> by Joel Joan and H\u00e8ctor Claramunt, which will continue to captivate the audience with a production that has broken all the public’s memories at the Teatre Condal.<\/p>\n All in all, Focus will invest 14 million euros in 14 own productions and 9 co-productions that will allow us to continue in the footsteps consolidated in the two previous seasons with, as Daniel Mart\u00ednez assures, \u201cour eyes on the future, reiterating the strength and importance of theater as a space to explain the stories of who we are as a society and as a tool to continue working for a better tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.focus.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/57_Presentacion-Temporada-FOCUS_\u00a9StudioRuano_240906-DR100764_w-1124x703.jpg\")
