Through this work, María Velasco was deserving of the Max Award for Best Theatre Show at the last edition of our country’s most important performing arts awards, another endorsement for a formidable text that its own author worked to put on the stage, emphasising the commitment to femininity and nature, both threatened by a heavy-handed masculinised and extractivist world. Talaré a los hombres de sobre la faz de la tierra (I will Chop Down Men from the Face of the Earth) draws a relationship between emotional and sexual violence and violence towards the environment. It is posed as a story, with autobiographical roots, of green empowerment, starring a wonderful Laia Manzanares, accompanied on stage by Joaquín Abella, Miguel Ángel Altet, Fran Arráez and Beatrice Bergamín. However, the work is much more and is everything at once. It is its theme, its author, its texts, its actors and actresses and it’s also an ecosystem of feeling, to which music (Peter Memmer), dance (Joaquín Abella), plastic (Marcos Carazo) and visual arts (Elena Juárez) are all added. And, above all, it’s the story of the painful acquisition of her own voice against maternal language and the story of a failed emotional education.
