The never-ending story.

Azar Teatro pays tribute to Carmen Martín Gaite , the incredible writer from Castile and León, with their play The Neverending Story . Presented as a literary biography narrated by herself, the piece interweaves fragments of her vast body of work with the most important milestones of her life, including her relationship with her husband, Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio, and other authors of her time, the painful loss of her two children, her bond with her daughter, and her famous refusal to join the Royal Spanish Academy.

The ideal accompaniment to this portrait will be the projection of her collages and the background music that was part of her life. The staging will pay tribute to a writer who was crucial in two ways: first, by opening paths forbidden to women in her time; and second, by revealing, as a novelist and essayist, the rich complexity hidden beneath the seemingly most ordinary lives.
