Alicante Main Theater announces VII José Estruch Residence
Pilar Castro and Candela Peña
On Friday, December 1 at 20.30, Pilar Castro and Candela Peña headline a dramatic comedy directed by Israel Solà. The production examines how large corporations increasingly intrude on the private lives of their employees. A woman in a position of power interviews Emma in sales about her personal life with a nuanced, insightful touch.
The premise begins with a humorous look at how a company defines romance and sexuality, but soon shifts to a sharper critique as the manager presses Emma for intimate details about her relationship with a colleague. When the reality of the relationship extends beyond acceptable boundaries, alarms rise. Emma’s pregnancy triggers a forced separation from any partner and a manipulation of personal identity on multiple levels. The ensemble delivers a gripping, provocative performance that holds the audience from start to finish. The play traverses venues like Arniches Theater Alicante, Palau Altea, and others, with showtimes extending into the evening on Friday and into the afternoon on Saturday.
