Caramelo

NATIONAL CULTURE AWARD RICARDO FERNÁNDEZ GUARDIA 2018 IN 'BEST ACTING ROLE' CATEGORY

 

People call her Caramelo and this play is about her.

Based on the condition of a sex worker once she reaches an advanced age where society and stereotypes confront her with the resistance to accept that her job is no longer productive for herself as it was before.

A look at the economy of the body, prostitution and motherhood from the everyday life, through the dialogue between the stage and the cinematographic gaze as complements for the audience; a voyeuristic view that accompanies these bodies that are so censored by the society but in turn, so demanded by the past, the present and the future.
