Otra Vez en Silencio

Otra vez en silencio is a contemporary theatre piece written by María Ugarteburu, about a young woman who, after a series of bereavements, seeks order in convent life and confronts her own desires.

Inspired by a real event from the Spanish Civil War, this contemporary theatre piece follows María, a young woman marked by a death in a household where mourning has settled into routine. Without the tools to make sense of her emotions, she seeks meaning for her life in a convent.

There, recollection, discipline and obedience serve as a refuge from the chaos outside and within her. But that refuge will eventually confront her with her desires, with the possibility of choosing freely and with an identity she thought she had left behind. From there, the play poses an intimate and universal question: who are we when the roles with which we learned to define ourselves disappear?

The show is staged in the Salto Escénico venue, a space whose programme focuses above all on theatre productions. The cast includes María Ugarteburu, Jandro Cabello, Carla Menéndez and Antonio Hinojosa, in that order of appearance. Authorship is by María Ugarteburu, who co-directs with Pablo Cortés-Ferrández; Paula López is assistant director and choreographer, and Raquel Puche handles lighting, sound and projections. The production is by ĀRĀMA CREACIŌN.
