Una pequeña historia de superación

Black comedy written and directed by Berta Prieto and Lola Rosales, imagining a 2034 dominated by the far right and the culture of self-help, where attention is won by displaying one's own suffering.

Written and directed by Berta Prieto and Lola Rosales, this black comedy is set in 2034, when the far right has gained ground in Europe, social gains have been dismantled and poverty has soared. In that scenario, the production takes a recognisable trend to its extreme: the idea that one's own pain is the currency with which one gets heard.

Ana Belén, an activist linked to the 15M movement, founder of Unidas Podemos and head of the Global Sumud Flotilla, drives the private foundation Pide un deseo España, which compensates those who recount their most traumatic experiences. Together with Mila Grace, an influencer who kept her youth after winning Make a Wish América, she selects the testimonies that move people most and grants any wish that is requested of her.

Laura, a follower of Mila Grace, wants to be like her, but lacks the main requirement: she has no trauma. She is a ZTK, a Zero Trauma Kid, and her quiet life with Pablo does not fit into the new market of compassion. The show is performed in the Sala Francisco Nieva of the Teatro Valle-Inclán.
