Àngels Gonyalons stars in "The Picture of Dorian Gray"

The Teatre Romea becomes the stage for one of the most innovative theatrical proposals of Grec 2026 with the performance of El retrat de Dorian Gray, a production that can be seen on the Barcelona billboard until August 2, 2026. In this piece, actress Àngels Gonyalons undertakes a true interpretive tour de force by stepping into the shoes of Oscar Wilde himself to defend his controversial novel from the attacks of critics of the time. Through her sole voice, the actress will display the entire gallery of characters from the work: from the young and envious Dorian, passing through the painter Basil or the fragile Sybil, to the depraved dandy Lord Henry.

With careful dramaturgy and direction by Marc Rosich, the show is conceived as a chamber piece where the text organically merges with the original music by Jordi Cornudella, performed live by a string quintet and a male vocal trio. The cult of youth, individualism, and narcissism present in Oscar Wilde's classic resonate strongly in our current society, governed by the tyranny of image, the aesthetics of social networks, and the obsession with the latest novelty.
