La Grieta

La Grieta is a contemporary theatre piece that tackles the boundaries between information, justice and morbid curiosity through a court case.

The plot of this piece kicks off when the premiere of a true-crime docuseries reopens an investigation into the murder of a young girl that once shocked society. The victim's mother tries to stop the broadcast to prevent the event from being exploited as entertainment, while a young lawyer steps in to defend freedom of expression and public access to information. As the situation progresses, the line between the search for truth and the exposure of pain becomes increasingly blurred.

This contemporary creation is performed on the stage of Salto Escénico in Madrid. The staging raises uncomfortable questions for the audience, placed in a position of judgment regarding the way we consume other people's tragedies. The programming of this venue encompasses both theatrical proposals and musical performances within its Madrid bill.
