Las Cosas Por Su Nombre

A dramatic comedy following Marga, a cabaret performer of uncertain age, and Antonio, a recruiter for a clandestine club, on their last night together in a dressing room in a near future marked by repressive legislation.

The production is set in the near future, when a new code of conduct, introduced during a reform, severely punishes any expression that does not correspond to one's sex at birth. In this authoritarian context, the story brings together two very different characters: Marga, a cabaret performer who moves away from usual conventions, and Antonio, a man who has complied with the laws and works recruiting people for a clandestine club.

The entire action takes place in Marga's dressing room, where the two of them spend what could be their last night together. Some musical versions that have marked her life accompany the scene and serve as the starting point for the dialogue between the two characters.

The show raises questions about the role each one plays in the conflict and about the different ways of living an identity under pressure. It is staged at the Teatros Luchana venue in Madrid.
