The new play by Eu Manzanares<\/strong> explores the everyday challenges faced by a high-complexity secondary school and the contradictions that often emerge between the education system and the family and social realities of its students. It is a powerful and thought-provoking portrait of academic inequality that invites reflection on the limits and responsibilities of contemporary education.<\/p>\n

Directed by Nelson Valente<\/strong> and starring Lua Amat, Dafnis Balduz, Sara Diego, Rosa Gamiz, Anna Sahun and Max Vilarrasa<\/strong>, the production has captivated both audiences and critics thanks to the strength of its narrative and its deeply sensitive staging.<\/p>\n

Specialised critics have praised both the quality of the writing and the stage direction, describing it as an essential piece of theatre and highlighting in particular the outstanding work of a cast that brings to life, with authenticity and emotion, a reality that is as complex as it is important to see represented on stage.<\/p>\n
