about the show
Petra von Kant, a successful designer who has just separated from her second husband, lives with her secretary Marlene, an assistant and almost slave. When one of her best friends introduces her to Karin, a young opportunist from humble origins, Petra falls madly in love with her and promises to make her an international model. The two women then begin a stormy relationship. The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant -written feverishly during a flight from Berlin to Los Angeles and released in 1971-8722 belongs to Rainer Werner Fassbinder's most brilliant period (1946-1982). The play, which was made into a film the following year, was praised by international critics for its stylised portrayal of romantic heartbreak in a purely feminine universe. The German playwright, who revitalised the Brechtian legacy with American melodrama, deploys all his artillery to speak to us of loneliness and domination in this sapphic love story that thrives on ellipses and silences. Rakel Camacho adapts and directs, with a renewing pulse loaded with images, this classic of the European repertoire about power relations, sickly obsession and the toxic need to see ourselves accepted in the eyes of others.
