Project
In the residency I will work on the text Yo no soy Ana Orantes that explores the evolution of violence against women in the last twenty-five years from the murder of Ana Orantes at the hands of her husband in 1997, and the public revulsive that her testimony meant for this country in a program of Canal Sur where she publicly denounced four decades of mistreatment. After an intense process of documentation and interviews with people related to Ana, with other women victims and with the elaboration of the Law of 2004, I will write this text that asks us if we have changed regarding violence during this time.
The play will be premiered in Melilla during July 2023 by the production company La Vidriera teatro.
