Raquel López will present "Huesos" on November 18th at the Carmen Jalón Municipal Library.
The Carmen Jalón Municipal Public Library in Torrevieja will host the storytelling performance "Huesos" (Bones) next Wednesday, November 18, at 5:00 p.m., as part of the events commemorating November 25th (International Women's Day). The performance, presented by writer and storyteller Raquel López, is organized in collaboration with the municipal Department of Social Welfare and Equality.
Adapted and directed by Raquel López Cascales, "Bones" draws on folk tales to bring to life female protagonists who use their intelligence and determination to confront situations of violence, subjugation, and injustice. The play focuses on their ability to make decisions and change the course of their lives.
Among the stories are a young woman confronting her abusive husband, a girl escaping her kidnappers, and a daughter breaking free from her father's control. Through these characters, the show invites reflection on inequality and demonstrates how traditional narratives have also conveyed stories of female resistance and autonomy.
Raquel López has been a professional storyteller since 1991. For over three decades, she has shared her stories in libraries, theaters, schools, and festivals, with performances for children, teenagers, and adults. Her career combines creating shows with writing and teaching, offering courses and lectures for teachers, families, and professionals interested in the art of storytelling.
