The play portrays an everyday heroine, trapped between caring for others and the loss of her own identity, who one day faces unbearable physical and emotional pain. Through direct and uncompromising language, the authors build a tribute to mothers who gave everything without complaint, while simultaneously launching a cry of insurrection against the social mandate of female sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe play follows Amadora, a woman who has always lived at the service of others' desires, repeating the mantra \"I can't complain.\" Her existence passes in the invisibility of the home, until a sudden pain erupts in her life and forces her to confront her own fragility. Amadora then discovers herself as \"a child attached to a lady\": a woman who is tired, in pain, and, for the first time, aware of her own absence. The text, conceived to be performed by multiple bodies and voices, becomes a choral plea that directly challenges the viewer, questioning the limits of science, freedom, and women's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe sacrifice and invisibility of women caregivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between physical pain and emotional oppression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of female identity through service to others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe silent insurrection against social gender mandates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe monologue as a tool for collective denunciation and catharsis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary theater with a social and feminist focus, performing arts professionals looking for choral and polyphonic texts, and anyone who wishes to reflect on the role of mothers and women in today's society.

Its value lies in its ability to condense, into just 66 pages, a profound social discourse on motherhood, pain, and female identity. The polyphonic structure and direct tone make it a particularly attractive text for stage productions and for readers seeking committed and contemporary theater. It is an essential read for those who want to understand how silence and contained complaints can be transformed into a powerful act of rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDICIONES LA UÑA ROTA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407430705499,"sku":"9788418782404","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841878240.jpg?v=1781855590","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788418782404","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
