“The imaginary history of Josefina Aznárez, outstanding personality, fascinating and magical. She is introduced as a writer who doubles as a male character to achieve the prestige and admiration she is denied as a woman. A character whose path was crossed by fate on the 3rd of November 1893, with the violent explosion and subsequent tragedy of the steamboat Cavo Machichaco in Santander, causing the death of more than 500 persons and nearly the same number of wounded. The playwright Laila Ripoll uses this event to construct a beautiful monologue as a tribute to those brave, silenced and forgotten women who demand their place in the world.
We could say that this piece is the defense of the rediscovery of the footprints of our silenced women, women who one day constructed the avant-garde that eroded sterilising conventionalisms and atavisms.   Many 19th century women  passed themselves off as men, like Josefina Aznárez, transmuted in Luis Freeman. ”   Silvia de Pé
