Carmen Martín Gaite is an iconic figure of great importance in 20th-century Spanish literature, who skillfully cultivated all literary genres: short stories, plays, novels, essays, and poetry. She was also fond of creating collages and loved to dance.

She was a role model for women of her generation and continues to be so for subsequent generations. She had a strong character, a firm personality, unwavering determination, great style, and an enormous thirst for freedom.

This project is conceived as a tribute to this incredible Castilian-Leonese writer, recreating her figure and choosing different fragments from her extensive work, as if it were a small literary biography, which she herself tells us, sprinkled with the most important events of her life (her relationship with Sanchez Ferlosio, her husband, and other writers of the time, the loss of her two children, the relationship with her daughter, her refusal to be a member of the RAE...).

The projection of her collages, during the monologue and the music she loved will be the perfect accompaniment.

The portrait of a writer who "opened many paths closed to women in those years, and of a novelist and essayist who discovered the multiple nuances hidden in seemingly bland lives."
