Semen

Semen is a comedy that places three men in an assisted reproduction clinic, summoned by Manuela to decide among themselves who will be the father. It is staged at the Arlequín Gran Vía Teatro in Madrid.

Manuela wants to become a mother, but she does not feel able to make that decision alone. To resolve it, she gathers three men who have played a part in her life at an assisted reproduction clinic and asks them to be the ones who choose who will be the father. And so this comic piece gets under way.

On stage, José Luis is a sensitive, reflective teacher going through an existential crisis before getting married. Samuel is a businessman whose idea of traditional masculinity clashes with today's challenges. El Otro is a carefree young man, fluid and open. The pace is brisk and the characters become entangled in absurd misunderstandings.

As the show unfolds, the protagonists are forced to question inherited male role models and to explore new ways of understanding identity, affection and emotional responsibility, through humour.
