The plot unfolds in a brothel that serves as a reflection of a divided country, where women who lost the war suffered double victimization and their bodies became a stage for barbarity.

The 1940s in the Canary Islands were marked by military control and scarcity, leading to the establishment of the “Canary Islands Economic Command”. Repression and resource shortages caused approximately 130,000 people, mostly men, to emigrate to Latin America. This situation prompted many women to enter the workforce outside the home, facing marginalization and violence amidst strong repression.

This new reality, with women gaining public and professional space, contrasted with the norm of the Franco regime, which relegated them to the private and domestic sphere. The insular nature of the Canary Islands, with its own historical and colonial footprint, shaped a unique scenario, a 'dead-end labyrinth' for many islanders who could not emigrate.

The play, part of the Canary Islands Day events in Alajeró, explores how economic, social, and political power subjugates bodies, particularly women's, using sexual violence as a tool of domination. The social and historical invisibility of these acts inflicts even greater violence, and ‘La Tuerta’ seeks to give voice to these silenced stories.

The event, organized by the Alajeró City Council, is supported by Mares, the Canary Institute for Cultural Development, and the Government of the Canary Islands. All citizens and theatre enthusiasts are invited to attend this free event of high cultural value.
