La Celestina – Written by Fernando de Rojas directed by David Picotto

In this free version of La Celestina, recreated with a Clown technique, the classic voices of the work by Fernando de Rojas pass through Lita, played by Julieta Daga, who risks death perpetually; only her hands sustain a piece of scenery that has fallen on top of her. Everything hangs by a thread, and she has little strength left, but she will laugh, cry, and enjoy until the end. La Celestina, Lita’s tragicomedy, is a scenic the clown intervention that traverses the classic text.
