About the play

This version was created to mark the centenary of Benavente’s Nobel Prize in Literature. The creative team has sought to rescue the essence of the tragedy, accentuating its more poetic side and the eroticism that the work distills, without forgetting humor and music as an expression of the popular.

It is, in short, a dry and brutal cry that invites us to reflect on whether it is possible to calm our feelings or if, irremediably, passion will always find a crack through which to spill out. An essential appointment for lovers of classics revisited with a modern perspective. ✨
