The production by Calixto Bieito extracts all the potential from this work in a most convincing and spine-chilling way. The action takes place in a closed society of the 1950s, taking this story of witchcraft, sex and religion to the realism of imitation leather sofas, crochet cardigans, medical abuse and child molestation.

Zarzuela based on the play with the same name by Miguel Mihura. European premiere. Broadcast live from El Teatro de la Zarzuela on November 27, 2019.
