The proposal aligns with the Fundació Òpera a Catalunya (FOC) manifesto, which highlights the need for new performing arts venues. Papiol argues that the current Teatre Municipal la Faràndula suffers from structural deficiencies that cannot be fixed with minor renovations.
“"Sabadell can and must become a major reference center for Catalonia, independent of the capital."
The Nova Faràndula – Art Center would be located at the Vapor Turull site. The facility is planned to be five times larger than the existing theater, featuring advanced stage technology, rehearsal spaces for the Vallès Symphony Orchestra (OSV), and a large outdoor screen for contemporary art.
