LOLA IN LONDON
The performance of Lola in London by Marta Pequeño was a hypnotic look at a Spanish woman’s relationship with her matador boyfriend. Comic, at times darkly so, this piece showcased Pequeño’s talent and led the audience into a world of passion and violence which ended with a forcefully hard-hitting revelation.

Pequeño manages to convey every second of this sketch with a profound message about stereotypes and the cruel reality of domestic violence, overflowing at all times with humor and charisma.

Pequeño addressed the audience forthright and without fear [...] exploring big themes while paradoxically employing subtlety.

I particularly liked ‘Lola in London’ with its mixture of humour, pathos and almost horror as Lola described her life in the Metropolis in great detail, both the good and the bad sides of it.

Lola in London
A one-woman show by Marta Pequeño Lola is Spanish. Very Spanish. She is trying to find herself in London but flamenco, tapas, bullfighting and a jealous boyfriend are getting in the way. |
