Description

Francisco Casavella’s personal, heterodox, raucous ode to the city of Barcelona is coming back by popular demand. Presented on Season 23/24, it is a powerful, deservingly award-winning show directed by Iván Morales.

Be attentive because the set is growing, and this time it will be at Montjuïc with a new cast!

In the author’s words, it is a work ‘about the hows, whys, what fors and whats’ of Spain’s transition to democracy. Just like the Watusi of the title, it is a novel that has become a myth. And now, thanks to the talent of the author and director Iván Morales and his company, it is becoming a powerful, deservingly award-winning show.

Butaca 2024 Awards to the best drama show, best actor to Enric Auquer and best supporting actor to Guillem Balart.
Crítica 2024 Awards to the best show, best adaptation and best direction to Iván Morales, to the best main character to Enric Auquer and to the best secondary characters to Raquel Ferri and Guillem Balart.
Max Award 2025 to the best actor to Enric Auquer.
