Brava Theater: Doméstica Realidad

Doméstica Realidad is a captivating piece where comedy and social awareness merge into an unforgettable theatrical experience. It’s a collective creation about the unresolved conflict between women and the domestic space.

Three domestic situations explore hierarchical relationships, contradictions, and conflicts in an activity historically relegated to the female universe. A nauseating smell, the source of which is unknown, reveals that something in the house is rotting. Three possible variations of a state of affairs, with no temporal order, no apparent succession. A house, which is maintained as background, gives a general framework to the story, the place that enables these contradictions, dominations and abuses: “What happens indoors, stays indoors”, says one of the characters.

These stories come from a documentary work that included interviews with employees and employers, telephone surveys, readings and discussions of research on domestic employment. Doméstica Realidad deals with intimate, generational and political dilemmas that come into play in the ‘domestic’ arena.
