La casa de la llave

Social workers strip in "snapshots of life" in the everyday life of two women’s shelters

01 november 2017

“On my first day

In my new job

They put a set of keys around my neck

And left me alone

I have six women locked in

With their sons and daughters

It is not a prison

I only make sure that their lovers

Don’t love them too much”.

 

An exceptional stage creation in which three actresses get into the skin of social workers, stripping in “snapshots of life” in the everyday life of two shelters – an Emergency House and a  Shelter – for women who were victims of violence where Mada Alderete, the author of this ruthless poetry book, worked for seven years as an educator.

The live soundtrack by a creator and performer that is as suggestive and non-conformist as Ainara LeGardon, and the precise – and beautiful – images of Maialen Sarasua end up in a show that amazes us in order to understand it better and act it out, a sad reality in which the names used are the only lie.

The play will be presented in two versions: Basque (Giltzadun etxea, October, 31) and Spanish.
