Director: Helena Pimenta

A story about the confrontation between the overflowing passion of desires and love against the chains of provincial social morality and betrayal.
Set in the city of Vetusta, La Regenta, published in 1884, is one of the great novels of 19th century Spanish literature and one of the most important in history, according to many critics.
It is a naturalistic work that harshly portrays the atmosphere of a provincial city dominated by an idle upper class and a clergy that imposes a hypocritical and suffocating morality. Ana Ozores is the protagonist, a beautiful young girl who marries Don Víctor Quintanar, former regent of the Vetusta Court, much older than her, selfish, and who lives in a certain way in a world that has nothing to do with reality.
Ana feels overwhelmed in her marriage and, due to her frustration, is trapped by Don Álvaro, the town's donjuán, and by her own confessor, Don Fermín de Pas, who longs to make her his wife.
Director's note
“Clarín makes an ironic criticism of the ruling classes of an aristocratic society or one that dreams of being so, immobile, backward, conservative and blessed. It will be precisely this idle society, busy with appearances and gossip, with judging the lives of others, who marks the life path of Ana Ozores, heir to an impoverished nobility, orphaned by a mother, forced to live with hardly any adult references since she was a child and who She decides to marry an older man in hopes of having a good life. The young woman will never find in that marriage the passion that her youth demands of her, nor will she be able to be a mother. Soon she will harbor a desire and a forbidden inclination towards a mature seducer from Vetusta and scared she will try to find in her confessor the brake that she barely knows how to put on. His constant search, his refuge in the imagination surprise us.
We open the door to another era to put up a mirror. It is about recognizing the parts of us in which the behaviors of characters from another century stir. Theater allows us to transfer words to images, to gestures, to voice inflections, to internal or external movements of the characters, to poetic spaces...“.
