SYNOPSIS:

Women of yesterday and today are summoned to testify in a historic court hearing. Machismo will sit in the dock. Its defense will be tradition and patriarchy. The crime charged is that of perpetual sexual assault. The testimonies of the victims will give voice to centuries of stories.
The avenger of women is inspired by the homonymous work by Lope de Vega. The fact that Laura, its protagonist, is an ardent propagandist for feminism and a deep defender of women's rights allows us to address questions about the treatment of this topic today. Taking as a dramaturgical model the media judgment of ex-sports doctor Larry Nassar, we propose a ‘verbatim style of the Golden Age, in which texts by Lope, Calderón or Rojas Zorrilla will be mixed with real acts transcribed into verse. DURATION: 80 MINUTES.
