El Día de la Virgen

A comedy with live music and social critique in which twelve actresses pay tribute to the women of Lorca's world, caught between the celebrations of a group of señoritas and the bustle of the kitchen.

The show is set on a country estate in rural Andalusia, where six señoritas gather, as they do every year, to celebrate the feast of the Virgin. Meanwhile, six maids make sure that everything runs smoothly, and the plot alternates between two spaces: the kitchen, where time seems to race on, and the drawing room, where it seems to stand still.

Both spaces share the same feeling: in the village, there is a sense that news is on its way. This tension between what changes and what endures is the thread that runs through the production.

On stage, twelve actresses combine live music, humour and social critique to revive the memory of the generations of mothers and grandmothers and to offer a reflection on the changes women have lived through, as well as on what, with the years, still remains in everyday life. Teatros Luchana, in Madrid, is the venue hosting this show.
