We are thrilled to announce that Jordi Milán, director of La Cubana, has been awarded the 2025 SGAE Medal of Honor in recognition of his outstanding career and contribution to the performing arts.

SGAE has honoured Jordi Milán as the soul of La Cubana, “who, under his direction, has brought theatre closer to the public with a unique style full of humour, complicity and creativity.”

Since 1986, Jordi Milán has created and led more than twenty iconic productions that have left their mark on generations, including Cómeme el coco, negro, Campanades de boda, Cegada de amor, and Adiós Arturo, among many others.

This year award ceremony will take place on May 21st at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, where Joaquín Sabina, Gema R. Neira and Editorial Boileau will also be honoured. A tribute will also be paid to María Lejárraga, who has been named honorary president posthumously.

This recognition of Jordi is one we also share with everyone who has been, or is currently, part of La Cubana. Congratulations, Jordi!

We are very excited and grateful because today we received the news that we have been awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi 2025, one of the highest awards given by the Generalitat de Catalunya.

This award is a recognition of the trajectory of La Cubana, and therefore of the work, passion and spirit of play of all the people who have passed through this company and brought their grain of sand to it throughout these 45 years. From actresses, actors, technicians, tailoring, makeup, production, administration, communication, friends, family and collaborators… EVERYONE.

We also want to thank the audience, who is the one who has really pushed us to continue playing at making theatre all this time. This award is as much yours as it is ours.

This recognition encourages and spurs us to continue working to bring new projects to the theatre. See you on stage!!!

“L’amor venia amb taxi” is a musical “made in Cubana” and done “the Catalan way”

La Cubana will premiere a new musical on September 17 at the Teatre Romea in Barcelona.

This show wants to be a heartfelt tribute to amateur theatre in Catalonia, because it is only fair to recognize its importance within the country’s cultural environment. Most of us who work in this profession come from amateur theatre. To pay this tribute, we have chosen as our excuse a play that has been performed by the majority of amateur theatre groups in Catalonia: L’amor venia amb taxi, by Rafael Anglada.

However, as you already know, behind every La Cubana project, there is always something completely different. In this case, if we say we are doing “a musical,” it is because we truly are. But of course, it is a musical done “the Catalan way” and “our way”: with the signature ingredients of our company: humor, surprises, audience participation, and a deep affection for a special way of understanding theatre. When you come to see it, you’ll understand!

This tribute is being held at the Teatre Romea, not by chance, but because this venue has long been considered the temple of Catalan theatre. It has also been the epicenter of this industry: from Editorial Millà on Sant Pau Street, the Salvador brothers on Carretes Street, the Peris brothers on Junta de Comerç Street, to Damaret on La Rambla.

For La Cubana, returning to the Teatre Romea holds a very special meaning, as it was the first venue—after performing street theatre—where we staged our first indoor production: La Tempestad, in 1986. Moreover, this show allows us to celebrate our 45th anniversary as a theatre company.

Editorial Boileau has published the scores of the “Cançó de les Teresines” to celebrate the success of the “teresina’s revival” that we started with the podcast “Les Teresines pim, pam, pum” for Catalunya Radio and the publication of the biography “Vida de Teresina”

Editorial Musical Boileau has published an album with the lyrics and scores of the popular “Cançó de les Teresines”, with the music and lyrics composed by Joan Vives. In other words, for all those people who want to “play and sing it” they have to buy the scores, published by this prestigious music publisher. “Cançó de les Teresines” is a very practical booklet, designed for music students, which apart from the lyrics, contains the scores for voice and piano, and also the instrumental score (piano) that comes with a QR code to be able to listen to the sung version and the instrumental.

It is an honor for La Cubana that these scores have been edited and we want to take the opportunity to thank our longtime musician, Joan Vives, who apart from the Teresines, since 1990 has composed the music from almost all our shows.

You can find this album with the scores on the Boileau Publishing website (www.boileau-music.com), at its headquarters at Carrer Provença 287 or in specialized stores.

 

Since its premiere 32 years ago “Teresina SA” had become a cult series in Catalonia, and now, finally this Tuesday, July 23, the thirteen episodes of the series that La Cubana produced together with Televisió de Catalunya arrive on NETFLIX.

For those who do not yet know this comedy, it is a portrait of manners, which shows a series of everyday situations that are very close and known to everyone. Teresinas, the main characters, are three single sisters from the Barcelona neighbourhood of Gràcia, who live with their brother Tomàs.

“Teresina, S.A.” is the name of the underground economy company they have set up at home, where they place orders for anything they are offered: stuffed animals, packing letters, gluing buttons, paper flowers, souvenirs, flags…

Almost all the neighbours on the stairs come to work or gossip on the Teresinas apartment. Each chapter is set in a month of the year in chronological order (starting in August and ending in August of the following year) and is titled after a traditional festival on the calendar, which is also related to the order they have received and are “producing.”.

We hope that all those who know the series will recommend it to their friends everywhere, since “Teresina S.A” can be seen on the Netflix platform also with Spanish subtitles.

 

Sant Jordi was a wonderful day… The Teresines put on comfortable clothes and wanted to be accompanied by three “dudes” who rolled them to signings at different points in Barcelona. Rosita and Paca didn’t want to miss out either; they also left Gràcia to meet all the series’ followers.

The day began with a visit to the stalls of Catalunya Radio and Rac1 set up in the center of Barcelona. Then they moved around different book stalls in Barcelona (FNAC, Ona Bookstore, Alibris Bookstore, Abacus Bookstore), and also to the special stall that La Cubana set up on the Rambla de les Flors in front of the Boqueria Market.

There were many moments of emotion for all those people who have enjoyed these characters and love them as if they were family.

Many thanks to everyone who made it possible! It was an unforgettable day!
