The Minorcan actress Laura Pons has been awarded the ATAPIB 2025 prize for best female performer for her role in the play Laura, at the twentieth edition of the awards gala of the Association of Public Theatres and Auditoriums of the Balearic Islands (ATAPIB), which was held at the Teatre Principal in Inca.

Taking the classics and from here telling what you want to tell has been the plot gimmick with which Miquel Mas Fiol has put together this 'Millennial' Condition Trilogy. The author and director has not held back. The first victim was Voltaire; the second, Goethe, and the third, Victor Hugo. Candide or Optimism, The Sorrowsof Young Werther and this last one, Les Misérables, have been the MacGuffin for the author to launch his discourse, based on having a good time without leaving a single head on anyone's shoulders. Not a single cane standing, without exceptions. The first, his own, from before the show began, with two of the protagonists launching invectives against the author. From abuser to exploiter... while people entered the venue. This is his license, the safe-conduct that allows him to beat mercilessly, right and left, outside red lines.

A conversation between Gabriel Alomar and Josep Ferragut, a tour of a city that has been left in the dark from the perspective of three women, and a triptych on the millennial generation where concepts such as 'toxic positivism' resonate. These are just three of the ingredients that make the new edition of the Festival de la Palabra, an initiative organized by Produccions de Ferro that takes place between the months of October and May, can be defined as "a festival of construction." "And that doesn't mean it's a festival under construction," Toni Gomila, director of Producciones de Hierro, suddenly clarifies in conversation with ARA Baleares, "but rather it invites us to reflect on how we build cities and how we relate to each other, all together, indirectly and sometimes in very obvious ways."

Son Puig-gros is the farm that Miquel, who played the piglet when he was a child, obtained with the profits from a souvenir in Palmanova. He has become the lord of the great estate and its hundreds of quartered estates. In Son Puig-gros, the new lords hold a dinner to celebrate the event with friends, family, former owners, and neighbors. This is the contextual region where the story ofThe butchers, by Guillem Frontera, his first novel, for which he was awarded the Ciutat de Palma Prize. It was 1969, when we all thought that a bright new world was opening up before our eyes, while the young former student of La porciúncula, aspiring poet and budding novelist, saw and explained to us what none of us were capable of seeing, intuiting, or anything similar. Therefore, The butchers It is not a premonitory work nor Son Puig-gros, merely a metaphor, but evidence that the horn of plenty came with a toll, many tariffs and no turning back.
