Author Joan Solé reflects on the mayor and deputy mayor of Tàrrega dancing during the Festa Major, questioning the context and style of their performance.

Joan Solé, a contributor to NOVA TÀRREGA, expresses his bewilderment at a photograph from the recent Festa Major in Tàrrega. The image showed the mayor and the deputy mayor dancing, an act Solé likens to TV shows like Mask Singer or Tu cara me suena, and which evokes films such as Saturday Night Fever or Friday the 13th.
Solé elaborates on his reflection, blending cinematic references to describe the authorities' dance. From El baile de las ánimas to They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, the author uses these titles to emphasize his perception of an inappropriate or strange performance within the context of a town festival, suggesting a possible fleeting "infernal possession."
The article, published in the "La quarta paret" section, invites readers to consider these events and, ironically, to take them into account when voting. Solé concludes by hoping that the person who took the photograph is in good health, given the potential impact such scenes can have on the subconscious.
