Miranda de Espaldas al Ciprés

Miranda, who changed her name to get away from her mother, confronts her three years after her death in this contemporary theatre show with singing, dance and memory.

This contemporary theatre show follows Miranda, who chose to change her name in order to distance herself from her mother. Three years after her mother's death, the protagonist confronts her for the first time and tells her everything she never managed to say while she was alive.

The action is set beside a grave, beneath a cypress tree, where five hired mourners accompany the protagonist in an intimate trial. The piece combines singing, dance and the evocation of memories, and lays bare a relationship marked by abuse of power, religion and repression, but also by unconditional love.

The show takes place at the Salto Escénico theatre in Madrid. It is aimed at audiences interested in contemporary theatre who want to see how a difficult family bond is explored through music and stage movement.
