In the 21st century, not a year goes by that the works of Federico García Lorca do not set foot on our stages, always with public success and always with that validity that only true classics achieve. Why do Federico's words sound so close to us today? What made it so popular? What would you think of the readings and adaptations that are made today of his work? And the problems of access to culture that he already denounced and that we still suffer?
An actress, Raquel Ferri, gives birth. And an actress, Raquel Ferri, plays the night and day during which she gave birth.
Dreams can also be a matter of life or death. In this dream, the actress multiplies into different women, and prepares to give birth. And in some moment (from the past or the future) he relives the desires, the fears, the hopes, the friction of the bodies in transformation.
At the decisive moment of childbirth, real life and acting embrace and look into each other's eyes, just as it always does in our lives.

It's been years since reality entered the theaters and took over the stage. As has also happened with the rise of the essay in literature or the documentary in audiovisuals, creators and audiences have become interested in theater that speaks not only of reality but also of the present. Because? Do we need to understand the permanent crisis we live in? Has fiction distanced the theater from the spectator? Are we tired of the 'lies'? Is the theater the best space for collective reflection?

Labels always cause problems, especially when we want to label things that are difficult to label. Stage installations, the theater of objects or the so-called "theatre without theatre" are described with terms such as contemporary creation, new dramaturgies, multidisciplinary, hybrid... But the fact is that the performing arts are not always, by definition , contemporary, multidisciplinary and hybrid? We talk to three pairs of creators who have a lot to say on the subject. And that, in addition, they put on fantastic shows.

Classic texts are part of our tradition and are never missing from festival and theater programs. Now, in the middle of the 21st century, perhaps the time has come to consider how we read and represent them. What do we make of their misogynistic, racist, LGBTI-phobic, classist and more messages, a product of the times and contexts in which they were written and, above all, how do we offer them to new generations, both in theaters and classrooms ? We talk about adaptations, revisions and subversions, always with a feminist perspective and a bit of punk.
