Torremolinos, March 24, 2021.

The Department of Culture has reported today that this Saturday, March 27, the representation will take place, in the Prince of Asturias Municipal Auditorium, of the play 'The avenger of women', the fourth and last proposal of the cycle 'March, theater month '. The Consistory will once again put 200 tickets on sale, a reduced capacity to ensure that all security measures are met.

The stage program proposed by the Torremolinos City Council concludes coinciding with World Theater Day, with a play produced by Factoría Echagaray. Inspired by the homonymous work of Lope de Vega, ‘The avenger of women’ will represent how women of yesterday and today are summoned to testify in a historic judicial hearing. Machismo will sit in the dock. His defense will be tradition and patriarchy. The crime he is charged with is perpetual sexual assault. The testimonies of the victims will give voice to centuries of history.

The fact that Laura, its protagonist, is an ardent propagandist for feminism and a profound defender of women's rights allows us to address questions about the treatment of this issue today. Taking as a dramaturgical model the media trial of ex-sports doctor Larry Nassar, a 'verbatim' style of the Golden Age will be proposed, in which texts by Lope, Calderón or Rojas Zorrilla will be mixed with real acts transcribed into verse.

The play will be performed this Saturday at the Torremolinos Municipal Auditorium starting at 12:00h.

There are still tickets available. They can be purchased at a price of 6 euros online through the web http://latiendadelasentradas.com/ or by calling 615 652 453.

In addition, on the day of the performance, they can be purchased at the box office at the same price.
