Mantener fuera del alcance de los niños (Quejío sobre la infancia y lo que sigue)

From Wednesday to Saturday, 19:30 h Sunday, 18 h Promotion before the premiere: 50% discount for the first performances (Limited to 50 tickets/performance) This is a work about the childhoods of the middle class, rare ones, and geeks. María Velasco narrates in the first person her school years in the special educational needs classroom. The 'torments of not belonging' intersect with fantasies: such as becoming the Carrie of Stephen King, to carry out her great revenge, not at the graduation ball, but at an alumni reunion dinner. The revenge takes the form of a performance, in which the lament for non-normative childhoods blends with flamenco quejío. A celebration of the minority and of what is different, this work is dedicated to those who do not integrate. A theatre work written, directed and performed by María Velasco (National Prize for Dramatic Literature 2024), about education, difference in childhood and the trauma of not belonging to the hegemonic pattern at school, and how this marks personality and life trajectory.
