What’s being performed
«Perséfone fragmentada o Punica Granatum» draws from the Greek myth of Persephone to portray a woman reviewing her life and discovering she has never truly been herself. The protagonist has always lived under the shadow and control of others, and though she revisits her memories chapter by chapter, she cannot uncover who she really is: the maiden, the wife, the inexorable?
Amid these recollections emerge forced days winnowing wheat and endless nights of saliva and fluids. Through the character’s haze, a recurring duality emerges: solitude and violence. The play questions the boundaries of personal identity when it has been shaped by others.
