Viva!

A stand-up comedy show that reconstructs a femicide committed in a Castilian village during the Franco dictatorship, a family matter kept silent for decades and now told with humour.

Viva! begins with a fact the narrator discovered many years later: his grandfather killed his grandmother almost fifty years ago, in a small Castilian village, during the Franco dictatorship. The story revolves around a social and family taboo that had never been spoken about aloud.

On stage there is a desk, and on it, objects that are placed one by one to reconstruct what happened. Never giving up the power of humour, the piece asks about the collective responsibility that individual acts entail and about a society's capacity to repair itself and transform.

It is a stand-up comedy show that addresses a harsh episode of recent history from a personal and intimate perspective.
