After cleaning the house, go shopping, to care for grandchildren or to visit their children, a dozen housewives put aside their work, at least two evenings a week and head to a small under the Sor Francisca Armendáriz.

They dress up, pick up the script, read and reread your paper and enter scene.

Part of the group Tanit Theatre, part of the Department of Women.

Rehearse in the room where the posters have hit their recent performances: The Teapot, special women's police station and The Witches of Barahona, among others.

Now, prepare the work of Alejandro Casona Trees die standing, which account for 26 April at the Teatro Circo per day for women.

At Easter this year fell almost in March, the month in which falls on women's day, the group decided to change the date Tanit representation. We came very wrong then and one of the days we had open at the Theatre Circus was in April, so that's why we act on that date, says the group's director, Lola Martinez.

These part-time actresses are not locked into a specific genre.

You are a drama, a comedy, but confess that they prefer to laugh than to mourn.

However, this time, the 20 women of the theater group Tanit have opted this time for a tragicomedy, in order to make the public think.

Trees die standing is a play that revolves around the ideas and delusions of a man, Mr. Balboa, to keep happy and calm his wife regarding the status of the grandson of both.

What they like is to adapt classic plays because, they say, is a faithful representation of the values ​​of society. Currently there is a lack of values ​​in society, and classical theater fills all those gaps, says director the group.

Disguised as men

One of the things sorely lacking these housewives is the male presence in the group.

Began work 16 years ago and while part of the Department of Women also supported men.

It's a shame that all we are women, says Martinez, who is shown glad that the theater is an art without borders.

If you do a role well represented no matter you are male or female. In antiquity would not let women act.

Here if you develop the role it hooked to the public that, after all only see the character.
