What is being performed
«Perséfone fragmentada o Punica Granatum» is a creation by Bruno Tortosa Jorques that reinterprets the Greek myth of Persephone—goddess of the underworld and spring—from a fragmented and contemporary perspective. The play is part of the VI edition of the Novembre Dones festival, which focuses its programming on stories of women with desires, contradictions, and decision-making power. This Valencian production explores the myth as a metaphor for transformation, rupture, and rebirth, using the symbol of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) as a guiding thread.
Who creates it
Bruno Tortosa Jorques, a Valencian artist, signs this proposal as author and director. His work is among the selected projects for the festival, which in this edition brings together productions from Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Berlin, and Extremadura. Tortosa Jorques’ approach stands out for combining classical mythology with current scenic languages, seeking to connect with audiences interested in auteur theatre and new narratives.
Festival context
The VI edition of Novembre Dones reinforces Teatre Patraix’s commitment to showcasing complex female characters and diverse scenic proposals. The festival, running from 30 October to 29 November, includes five productions from different origins, each with its own language and sensitivity. The coexistence of these works in a neighbourhood theatre like Patraix aims to attract both regular audiences and new spectators, offering a window into less conventional realities and ways of making theatre.
Access and requirements
The festival is open to all types of audiences, though the content of «Perséfone fragmentada o Punica Granatum» may be particularly aimed at spectators interested in symbolic theatre, mythology, and gender perspectives. No minimum age or additional access requirements are specified.
