The story follows Mariana Maya, a successful Spanish publicist or, as the listing itself puts it, what remains of that success. One day she receives a visit from a young man who has come from Bolivia and claims to be the son of Luisa, the woman who looked after Maya's daughter for years until she turned fifteen.

The visitor, who is called Juanito, asks her to take on the role of mother that, according to his account, was taken from him. From that request, the production sets up an uncomfortable encounter between two worlds marked by inequality, motherhood and family memory.

This is a contemporary theatre piece titled No Luisa, which audiences can see at Teatros Luchana.
