Panza de burro

The play 'Panza de burro' is presented at the Antiguo Convento de Santo Domingo in Garachico, offering a profound exploration of adolescence and family life. The plot follows two girls, Shit and Isora, who grow up in a broken home, under the care of a matriarchy of grandmothers.

Shit, whose parents are absent due to working in construction and hospitality in the south of the island, blindly admires Isora, an orphan suffering from an eating disorder. Both protagonists spend a summer marked by boredom and a search for distractions, longing to go to the beach and trying to understand the nascent sexual desire that constantly stirs them. The story unfolds inland, confined under the melancholic and oppressive 'cloud blanket' that characterises certain Canarian landscapes.

Don't miss this theatrical event in Garachico on 17/10: an unmissable cultural date in the north of Tenerife.
