A Monologue on Memory, Guilt, and Contradictions
Cuidar (or Not) is a theatrical monologue that tackles an uncomfortable question: what happens when a middle-aged woman faces the task of caring for a father who, in her childhood, not only failed to protect her but also inflicted violence upon her and her mother? The protagonist, played by an actress whose name is not disclosed in the sources, revisits her past to reconcile with a childhood marked by fear, beatings, and insults—but also by moments of apparent happiness. The play delves into guilt, duty, and the fear that, in the future, her own daughter might repeat the pattern and refuse to care for her.

A Universal Theme from an Intimate Perspective
The play, written and directed by an unspecified team, avoids sensationalism to focus on emotional ambivalence: rejection and love, resentment and compassion. It is not a story of overcoming but a raw reflection on how past wounds shape present decisions. A theme that, while rooted in a personal story, transcends the individual to question gender roles, filial obligation, and the limits of forgiveness.
