Un día perfecto

A comedy starring Eva, a social worker in her sixties who, after a violent prank in her neighbourhood, undergoes emergency surgery while reviewing her life. The show is staged at the Teatro Lara in Madrid.

Eva, a social worker in her sixties, single and childless, goes out to do her shopping at her neighbourhood market. That morning she makes the news when she falls victim to a violent prank that leaves her seriously injured. While she undergoes emergency surgery, the protagonist recalls, imagines or dreams episodes from her life, some nested within others.

The staging follows this journey through memory and blurs the boundaries between dream and reality, life and death. Eva wonders whether life is, at heart, an archive of memories that death switches off in an instant, and whether it might be possible to reactivate that archive for a few minutes. The underlying question is whether memory can offer a fragment of eternity.

The cast is made up of Laura Cepeda, Eva Quirós, Rodrigo Sáenz de Heredia and Gonzalo Hermoso. The production is by MisAmigos Producciones. Laura Cepeda is responsible for the original idea, the executive production, the set design and the direction, alongside Diego Cabrales, who also handles the lighting with Eva Quirós. The costumes are by Miarmario, the backdrops are by Rótulos Daganzo, the photography, posters and graphic design are by Juan Varela Simó, and the lighting and sound technician is Jaime Osuna.
