Synopsis
An actress uses a Spanish accent to play the mother character in García Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba. Suddenly, the actress’ lines and movements mutate into the ones of a Córdoba-born man who is demanding his son to remove his make up. After all, an early 20th century Spanish mother and a 50 year-old Argentine father have a lot in common. Camila is an actress, she lives in Córdoba and performs in a one-man stage piece where she integrates different plays by Garcia Lorca, providing them with a meaning that expresses new feelings: the writer’s as a man, and Camila’s, who feels the characters speak of and through her. If nothing is added or changed, how is it that the original script can stop being the same as always, and become something else? The combination (not the replacement) of the body, the person, and several texts is what makes them both reflect on human relationships from a global perspective. Physical aspects and inherited, imposed identities are avoided; Spanish playwright is redefined through the eyes of Camila, a transvestite who’s not a woman trapped inside a man’s body.
