For many people, the best Catalan language novel of the early twentieth century. For Josep Pla, a novel about a great European modernity. For Albertí, the culmination of a process of recovery of cultural heritage based on Catalan vaudeville, the couplet, the musical revue, melodrama and the social theatre of the Avinguda Parallel in the 1920s and 1930s.

Galaxy premiere.

Xavier Albertí is a Resident Artist of the Teatre Lliure.

“Vida Privada when set alongside reality is little more than a modest romantic novel.” (J. M. de Sagarra.)
"Vida Privada is an excellently pitched social chronicle, a malicious book, thoughtful, full of interest, of an unquestionable European normality." (Josep Pla, Retrats de passaport)
