The most tragic side to Lorca, adapted to eight gipsy women from the oldest shantytown in Europe. One of the most highly acclaimed performances in Madrid last year (within the European Year to fight poverty and social exclusion) for the originality and energy expressed by these non-professional actresses.

Prix El Público - Canal Sur to the Revelation Event 2009

"The various scenes are of an unsettling beauty, with moments of pure theatrical magic. The public rose to applaud them.” (Julius Purcell, Financial Times)
“They come on stage gracefully, artfully. Greater authenticity, impossible. They dazzle with a naturalness that brings the audience to their feet.” (Lara Martínez, ABC)
“Seldom has a theatre seen such an occasion as that of last night with the TNT. A very, very special production.” (Rosalía Gómez, Diario de Sevilla)
“One of the most emotive and entertaining productions of recent times. The actors move around the stage exuding absolute authority, bringing their characters to life as they fill the stage with colour and truth; they gained the complicity of the audience, whose applause was endless.” (Dolores Guerrero, El Correo de Andalucía)
“There is much emotion. Leaving aside any social or sociological considerations, what has been achieved is a great piece of theatre.” (Primer Acto)
