La Fulana Respetuosa: Concierto Teatral
Una nueva mirada a esta obra de los 40 sobre el sexo, el racismo y el poder tan relevante hoy como cuando fue escrita.

A través de la historia de Lizzie MacKay, prostituta blanca a quien la policía y políticos locales obligan a un hombre negro por un crimen que este no cometió, La Putain respectueuse, escrita por el filósofo francés Jean-Paul Sartre en 1946, examina el racismo en el sur de los Estados Unidos durante la era precedente a la lucha por los derechos civiles. En esta crítica sin rodeos de los impactos del racismo, el sexo y los prejuicios de clase en la sociedad estadounidense, Sartre interroga las políticas de la propia conservación, el poder y la búsqueda de la justicia.

"Es una obra que encaja perfectamente en esta realidad. Es un texto incómodo que nos deja con muchas dudas y que a su vez tiene respuestas directas. Es visceral, y llena de un humor amargo que provoca dolor. Los personajes son sanguíneos, monstruosos, lo dicen todo y también ocultan mucho. Llenos de gestos, posturas, miradas y temor, ese temor que siempre tenemos de sabernos humanos y podridos."    

- Sándor Menéndez (Director)

Para un público adulto. Contenido sexual, lenguaje fuerte y violencia.

Presentada en español con supertítulos en inglés.

A fresh look at a 1940s play about sex, race and power  that's as relevant today as when it was written.

Written by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in 1946, La Putain respectueuse (The Respectful Prostitute) examines pre-Civil-Rights-era racism in the southern United States through the story of Lizzie MacKay, a white prostitute targeted by police and politicians to collaborate in framing a black man for a crime he did not commit. In this unflinching critique of the impacts of race, sex and class prejudice on American society, Sartre interrogates the politics of self-preservation, power and the pursuit of justice.

"This is a play that fits perfectly into today's reality. It is an uncomfortable text that leaves us with many questions and at the same time offers direct answers. It's visceral, and filled with a bitter humor that provokes pain. The characters are quick-tempered and monstrous; they say everything and simultaneously hide a lot. They are filled with fear  that fear that we always have of knowing ourselves as human and corrupt."

- Sándor Menéndez (Director)

For mature audiences. Sexual content, strong language and violence.

Presented in Spanish with English supertitles.
