Historia de España en 70 minutos

Dark comedy written and directed by Berta Prieto and Lola Rosales, set in 2034, in a Spain where the far right has swept through Europe and suffering itself has become the route to a prize.

The production is set in the near future, when the social advances of recent decades have been dismantled, poverty has soared and the culture of self-help sets the tone of public life. Against this backdrop, the comedy brings to the stage an idea that feels recognisable today: that to be heard, you have to prove how much you have suffered.

The plot follows Ana Belén, an activist and heir to the 15M movement, founder of Unidas Podemos and head of the Global Sumud Flotilla, who runs a private foundation designed to compensate those who have lived through the most traumatic experiences. To select testimonies, she relies on Mila Grace, an influencer who keeps her youth thanks to the Make a Wish América contest. In exchange for telling their own pain, the foundation grants any wish.

Among Mila Grace's followers is Laura, who aspires to be like her but lacks the main requirement: she has never had a trauma. She is a ZTK, a Zero Trauma Kid, with an ordinary life alongside her boyfriend Pablo, with whom she plans mortgages and babies. The play asks what value a life without wounds has in a market that rewards suffering.
