A woman questions herself - and she questions, interrogates, entertains, thrills and surprises us. Alone with her secret, she moves in and out of her own life, which is somehow also ours. She reproaches, accepts, rejects, seeks and converses with her past. Guilty or innocent, from the psychoanalyst’s couch to the preacher of fashion, there is debate amidst a world where prejudices drown better dreams.

It was always thought - and still is - that there is no greater madness than to talk to oneself. In theater, this madness is called a
"monologue." Today we have before us history’s three best-known and/or most famous Joans: Joan of Arc, Joanna the Mad of Castile and Pope Joan. These three important historical figures will be portrayed in a serious and praiseworthy piece of work by our own present-day
Joan - "Star Joan" (Juana Estrella) – who with her immense and
wild sense of humor will demonstrate for us in true comedic
fashion that she’s not Joanna the Mad, but "THAT CRAZY JOAN."

Alone on the Moors of Castille, three female comedians (popular actresses) discover that their director has died. Far from anywhere and with a sense that they are being threatened from all directions, they ask themselves: What do we do with the dead man? Speaking in a made-up language, they describe with words of Golden-Age beauty everything about how it feels to exist in the present that surrounds and shows itself to us.

Telling the story of the lives of thousands of men and women who are struggling to get out of a well

"Vegetal" seeks to provide a glimpse
- humorously - at human beings, their use of time, and the links between them. As Seneca said:
"It’s not that we have too little time, it’s just that we waste so much of it."
"Vegetal" speaks about the importance of the present, about what
is wanted, what is feared, what is kept hidden, and what is
disguised in life.
