La Nau Theatre. By Cía. Onnana
El acontecimiento (Happening), by Annie Ernaux
Performed by La Perra Coja
Adaptation and direction: Cristina Correa and Xavier Puchades
France, 1963. Annie (Duchesne) is working on her undergraduate dissertation when she discovers she is pregnant. Determined not to continue the pregnancy, she embarks on a desperate race against time to find a doctor willing to perform an abortion, but no professional is prepared to risk their career or imprisonment. With neither support nor legal options, she is left with no choice but to risk her life through an illegal abortion. Thirty-five years later, Annie (Ernaux) recounts those moments of loneliness and anguish with remarkable restraint. Will she succeed in finding the words to express an experience lived through her own body?
