Badalona Theater Cancels Helena Jubany Musical After Family’s Public Objection

Relatives say the project risks undermining an active investigation revived by new DNA findings.

Overview

  • Theatre El Círcol called off the planned October 26 premiere following a forceful statement from the Jubany family.
  • The family says it never gave consent and had asked producers not to use Helena’s name or memory.
  • In March, their lawyer Benet Salellas sent a burofax warning of potential legal action and possible harm to the case.
  • Director Marcel Vilarós and Blanc i Negre argue the show focuses on Helena’s life and say they sought legal advice.
  • The 2001 killing remains unsolved, with recent DNA profiles from her clothing prompting renewed judicial steps this year.
