Contemporary Writers’ Spanish Theater Exhibition returns to Paraninfo, presenting Nobody’s Daughter, a tragicomic monologue created by Mafalda Bellido and Sergio Serrano. The piece is performed by Arianne Algarra and produced through a collaboration between Zafirina and Russafa Landscape. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, November 8 at 20:00, with tickets priced at 12 euros. The work merges sharp wit with poignant emotion, inviting the audience to witness a narrative that travels between the intimate and the universal, between ordinary moments and sudden flashes of meaning.
Nobody’s Daughter unfolds as a powerful single-voice piece that seeks to reshape the way the audience experiences a story. The monologue navigates a spectrum of themes, balancing the banal with the profound and weaving imagery with language. It explores loneliness, love, death, and the process of growing up, while also reflecting on present-day society and the stories we tell about ourselves. The performance is structured to provoke thought and reflection, inviting viewers to consider how individual lives intersect with collective sentiments and cultural pressures.
Bellido and Serrano are recognized for their contributions to contemporary dramaturgy. Their work has earned critical acclaim and multiple nominations, including recognition as finalists for Best New Writer in various awards. In 2016, they established the La Zafirina company, with a clear aim to publish and stage texts written by their own hands. Their creative approach emphasizes ongoing, careful craft and a relentless pursuit of beauty on stage, prioritizing authentic narratives and a vivid sense of voice that resonates with audiences. The company continues to develop projects that challenge conventional forms while celebrating the power of spoken and written word to connect people.”
