The Castilian and Leonese Institute of Language and the Segovia City Council are promoting the performance of the play "The Never-Ending Story " by the Azar Teatro company on Friday, January 16th at 7:00 p.m. in the Segovia Public Library. The play is a portrait of the writer Carmen Martín Gaite, an author who opened many doors previously closed to women and who, through her literary work, was able to reveal the many facets hidden behind seemingly ordinary lives. The premiere is part of the events programmed for the recent institutional commemoration of the centenary of the Salamanca-born author.

Directed by Javier Esteban and starring actress Mercedes Asenjo, this production is conceived as a tribute to the writer, recreating her persona and selecting different excerpts from her extensive work, as if it were a short literary biography narrated by herself. In this work, the audience witnesses some of the most important events and moments of her life, such as her relationship with her husband, the writer Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio, and other writers of the time, the loss of her two children, the complex relationship with her daughter, and her refusal to become a member of the Royal Spanish Academy.

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 is a role model for women of her generation and continues to be so for subsequent generations.
