Virginie Despentes’s Romancero Queer takes audiences behind the scenes of a theatre company rehearsing a radical restaging. Under the unseen direction of a director intent on ‘queerising’ La casa de Bernarda Alba, tensions, confessions and clashes surface. The ensemble—from a former prisoner to a cabaret star—reveals fragility, rage and wounded love. Raw, tender and political, the text interrogates queer identities and collective reinvention, offering an electric, character-driven comedy about power and solidarity.
