Macha

Info

Macha is a woman in her forties whose life changes dramatically after her divorce. As a result, her beliefs about love, initially seen as exclusive and rebellious, begin to unravel. She adopts a life devoid of destiny and ethics, where alcohol and pleasure are her only escapes. The words she shares are central to her story, depicting the raw, sometimes painful, feelings of love and the disconnection from her former life. What starts as a lecture quickly transforms into a personal confession. As she speaks, her vulnerability emerges, oscillating between toughness and tenderness, revealing a modern tragic figure who embodies all her lost hopes and frustrations. Macha's physical presence is expressive; she moves with an elegance that sometimes contrasts with her precarious high heels, highlighting her struggle and strength. Accompanying her is a musician who listens and responds, offering a fresh perspective and engaging in the evolving narrative of Macha's journey. Together, they explore themes of collapse and rebirth within her world.
