Mother, lover, worker ... This monologue is performed by a woman with many facets who works ceaselessly as she fights to overcome her fears. The Grec Festival revives a portrait of a woman on the edge in a true acting tour-de-force.
“Your child is not making adequate progress”. That is what the school says in a letter that the star of this show has just received, and which sparks off a dramatic monologue which many women – and more and more men – feel is holding up a mirror to them. She is a mother, she has a job, she takes care of her children and her husband, she is a wife and a lover, she would like to have a social life, but no matter how hard she tries to organise herself as well she can, she can’t make ends meet when it comes to time. She can multiply and divide, but her life was not designed for an ordinary woman, but for a superwoman. What if her batteries were to run out like the rabbit in the commercial? This is the question posed by a woman who is afraid of being alone, of lies, of not being loved and, above all, of not being understood. By telling the audience about the lemon squeezer her life has become, about her frenetic coming and going, she speaks for many of the women watching her from their seats. This is Clara Segura, an actress who turns in a superb, intense performance in this ninety-minute monologue in which she is by turn tender and wild, ironic and dramatic. She is directed by actor and director Marc Martínez, who premiered this production at the Teatre Lliure in the 2015-2016 season.
