Una historia de teatro y resistencia

Cristina Rota offers us a profound tribute to the actor's craft and to an entire generation that gave their all to win freedom. These pages are a declaration of love for the theater and for social commitment in a life marked by the political and artistic realities of the second half of the 20th and the first quarter of the 21st centuries. Convinced that art is an essential tool for social transformation, the founder of the prestigious acting school that bears her name transforms this biography into a call to action —to vital, artistic, and social action— inviting us not to accept the unacceptable, not to be resigned, impassive spectators. With a tender, almost lyrical gaze, one that doesn't shy away from humor and irony, we journey through the outskirts of La Plata, her beginnings in theater, the embrace of the love of her life, the heart of Videla's bloody dictatorship, and the exile that would bring her to Spain. This is a vibrant story full of commitment, determination, and love that endures beyond death.
