In 2008, Joan loses his job. At the same time that the world enters an economic crisis and Winning Brew becomes the fastest horse in the world, the character must confront his inability to feel fulfilled without his role in the working world.

Las primas de Bàrbara
Genre: New dramaturgies
Las Primas de Bárbara is a young company based in Mallorca that was born in 2019 with the need to generate new discourses and explore different theatrical aesthetics. His first production, Rent me bitch, was the winning show of Art Jove 2019, in the dramaturgy category. The play premiered last October 2020 at the Mar i Terra Theater, as part of the Palma City Council's Escena+ program. In addition, they have also been involved in different projects such as Està Encallada, a piece of micro-theatre, or Potser Mola, a digital performing arts magazine that has the support of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Government of the Islands Balearic Islands and which has a section on La Gran Vida by IB3Ràdio. The company has also received a special mention at the Rei en Jaume 2021 Award in Calvià for the piece Au Revoir Vacuité. So, the collective is characterized by the constant training of its members, the proximity to the public, and the research it continues with its social, political and personal environment.
Company in constant formation and change.
