About the author
Born in 1822 and deceased in 1901, Joaquín Dimas is remembered as a playwright associated with Catalan and bilingual popular theater. Catalog records and digitized editions identify him as the author of works such as Una nit de carnaval, Las tres rosas, o, Los celos, and Set morts y cap enterro.
His plays were published in Barcelona in the 1860s and were written as short stage pieces, often in verse. The titles and surviving editions point to a taste for comic situations, jealousy plots, and festive urban settings, especially those linked to local theatrical culture.
Although widely detailed biographical information is hard to confirm from the sources found, the record of his publications shows a writer who contributed to the lively 19th-century stage tradition in Catalan and Spanish. For modern listeners, his work offers a small but vivid window into the humor and rhythms of that world.
