«La tuerta» is the adaptation of the novel of the same name by María del Mar Rodríguez, the Canarian writer who receives this year's literary prize of the 6th Historical Novel Festival in Tacoronte (VI Festival de Novela Histórica Ciudad de Tacoronte). Actress and director Aranza Coello brought to the stage this story of post-war survivors, a time when people cried out from hunger and kept silent out of fear, and when many women were driven into prostitution to feed their children. From a brothel in the heart of the Santa Cruz of 1946, the play draws a country broken between victors and vanquished, where the women who lost are victims twice over.
The performance is on Saturday 14 November from 20:30 to 21:30 at the Auditorio Capitol in Tacoronte, on the Tacoronte-Tejina road. Rating: adults. Entry is free, but seats must be booked on the Auditorio Capitol website. Earlier that day, at 19:00, the author receives the festival prize at the Casa de la Cultura.
