(Detergent, Sleeping Pills and Huevos Rancheros)}

^{Directed & Adapted by Pau
Carrió, from the stories by Lucia Berlin
Eòlia Theatre Barcelona 2017}

^SUMMARY

^{Cleaning ladies,
nurses, receptionists, students, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, friends,
lovers… Many voices in a single woman
and many women in a single voice.

Lucia Berlin writes
from hospital waiting rooms while she
works cleaning homes, on the bus, reading, smoking, drinking, between arguments
and family reunions. All the smells, sighs and cries, deaths and births, the
tears and laughs, the wounds and cures, the caresses, the scrapes, daily life
and the lack thereof are silences and words etched on her skin.

The show takes her
narrations as starting point, full of freedom and modernity, both formal and
moral and travels to the decades of the 60s, 70s, and 80s in North America
to find itself with her vision of life
and death: straightforward, brave, raw and full of tenderness and irony.}
