RIALTO THEATER. Pl. town hall, 17
Turtledove recovers one of those exciting female figures that have been buried by history. The Sevillian Carmen Tórtola Valencia is going to be a bisexual orientalist ballarina, buddhist, vegetarian and feminist in a time - halfway between the 19th and 20th centuries - when all this sounded Martian. He defied all conventionality by maintaining a loving relationship with Ángeles Magret-Vilá (twelve years younger than her), he practiced an exotic and sensual dance style that was totally disruptive, was the icon of the cosmetics brand Myrurgia, muse of painters like Zuloaga, addicted to morphine, one of the first women to refuse to wear a corset and collected pre-Columbian Mesoamerican art in the last years of her life. If this information doesn't make you want to see the work, ha ha I don't know… S.M.
