MI NIÑA,MI NIÑA MÍA (My girl, my little girl) (2019)
(Spain)
The text received the Jesus Dominguez Award in Spain and was published at Primer Acto.
Two women, two eras, two stories bound by blood. A Jewish actress who teaches drama to children in the Terezin concentration camp, and an entomologist studying glow worms who makes the late realisation that she is a Holocaust survivor. Two fire flies that shine in the darkness. Two women that shine despite other circumstances.
