Actor Joan Crosas and musician Manel Camp performed a musical adaptation of the Count Arnau legend this March at the Kursaal Theater in Manresa.

Accompanied by the CordHomes d'Osona choir, the performance faced low attendance due to local festivities. The show explores the dark myth of the cruel feudal lord, drawing from the literary works of Joan Maragall and Jacint Verdaguer.
The production was praised for Crosas's powerful narration and Camp's delicate piano accompaniment, offering a story of sin and redemption that remains a cornerstone of Catalan oral tradition.
