Emma Vilarasau is directed by Sergi Belbel to become Winnie, Beckett's character that perhaps best expresses the tenacity of life in the face of fragility and the passing of time.

"Like the great classics of history, the play changes and improves with time. Happy days is one of those texts that should be performed every five or ten years, and acquires new and unpredictable meanings every time. Today, with the profound crisis we are experiencing, there are more and more "Winnies" and "Willies" -people who have been dispossessed, uprooted, evicted, but who are highly visible - on our streets, in the parks, in the squares, sleeping by cash machines... Beckett's greatness consisted of showing the vast humanity of his characters, the struggle to achieve a better world, despite the unquestionable adversity of their surroundings, a bare and bleak desert, lifeless. And this all takes place through small gestures, small phrases, tiny movements, disturbing pauses and a great sense of humour - a style which used to be called the absurd and which now, with time, has taken on a completely revealing meaning.
