17th may 2020

The Galician Council of Culture has chosen this play to commemorate 2020 Letras Galegas Day.


Farsa das zocas is a short play that tells a family drama with economic interests as its backdrop. To Professor Biscainho, a member of ILLA and author of the present edition's prologue, the play shows the will of dignifying popular stories and characters and of building bridges with other dramatic literatures around the world.

This link features as well an interview to Carlos Biscainho and a video in which Tito Asorey, Melania Cruz and María Vázquez give life to the characters created by Ricardo Carvalho Calero: more than a dramatic reading, the video shows an approach to the staging of a piece that brings us close to one of the least known sides of the eminent professor from Ferrol.
