Mari¿qué?

Mari¿qué? is a stand-up monologue in which La Pedro Ese looks back, with humour and irony, on her childhood in deep La Mancha and her arrival in Madrid. It is performed at La Otra Movida.

The production is a stand-up monologue in which La Pedro Ese is the only voice on stage. Drawing on personal stories, the show traces what it was like to grow up different from everyone else in a village in deep La Mancha, how one coped with the comments of the neighbourhood, and what it meant afterwards to move to Madrid to work as a provincial actor.

The tone is comic and intimate, with anecdotes that blend irony with more incisive moments on identity and the sense of belonging. Reflection is woven through the humour, so that the audience laughs at everyday situations and, at the same time, pauses to consider what lies behind them.

The show is aimed at adult audiences who enjoy stand-up and autobiographical storytelling. The venue is La Otra Movida, in Madrid, a space that hosts concerts and shows in the city.
