"This play was born from a picture. It was a woman in her golden years sitting in front of door, her chair was a piece of cardboard. With a cigarette in hand and a see-through blouse, she looked like a vision of empowerment, sensuality and loneliness in a desolate street in Madrid. I had the opportunity to meet this character and discover she was a woman full of dreams, with a husband, friends and kids and her profession... was the oldest of them all. She was a Sexual worker. Well, she rather call it by its name, She was a prostitute."
