La Voz Dormida

La voz dormida, at the Teatro Infanta Isabel in Madrid, is based on Dulce Chacón's novel about a group of Republican women imprisoned in the Ventas prison after the Spanish Civil War.

The title refers to the novel by Dulce Chacón, set in the post-war period in Spain. At its centre is a group of Republican women imprisoned in the Ventas women's prison in Madrid in the early years after the war, confronted with humiliation, torture and uncertainty about their fate.

The narrative, journalistic in style and told from an omniscient point of view, starts from real stories which the author softened and completed with new nuances. The protagonist is inspired by a woman from Córdoba. The story raises themes such as human dignity, historical memory, violence and the condition of women, alongside a defence of peace, freedom and love.

The production is presented at the Teatro Infanta Isabel in Madrid, under the same title as the novel.
