Desdémona 

Text adaptation and direction Claudio Hochman and Cecilia Silva. By El Ombligo y la Pelusa.

Lights and shadows to tell a classic story. We chose to tell Othello (play by William Shakespeare written around 1603) because it is about jealousy and the gatekeeper who lets himself be swept away by it. The story, in our case, is told by Desdemona, Othello's wife and victim of his jealousy: Desdemona returns from the dead to try to understand what has happened and, except for the distance of four centuries, her drama is very current. She will be unravelling the causes of his murder and reflecting on her role as a woman.

 We believe that Desdemona is an urgent and necessary work because, in the light of reality and 400 years after this tragedy, there are still Othellos and Desdemonas...
