A tree with a vulva in the middle and a penis. This is what the viewers of ‘La villana de Getafe’ saw on June 25 in a unique representation through the streets of Getafe and that only days later received the complaints from Vox councilors from the Madrid town.

They allege that in the work, written in 1613, there are no sexual references. The director of the show, Marcos Toro, disagrees. “That two women fight for the love of a handsome but poor hidalgo indicates that there is something more, that there is a sexual subtext.” In addition, he reminds us that the work of Lope de Vega also had to circumvent the censorship of the time and that, therefore, he could not expressly talk about sex either.

is the second time representing this function, which aims to become a classic like seeing ‘Don Juan Tenorio’ in Alcalá de Henares, and last year a penis appeared on stage that bothered no one. “Surely it has to do with the proximity of the elections and the desire to make noise,” says Toro.

In Valdemorillo, Madrid, they will no longer be able to see the adaptation of Orlando by Virginia Woolfa novel written in 1928 that narrates the life of a person who throughout the centuries lives as a man and as a woman, very critical of the machismo of society. A text that the Victorian writer dedicates to the one who was her girlfriend.

The previous government team, PP and Ciudadanos, planned to schedule it on November 25. According to the company, the new Vox culture councilor has canceled for ideological reasons. From the City Council they say that it is due to budget issues.

‘Nua, radiografia d’un disorder’, a harsh social critique of eating disorders, had been scheduled to be re-released in Palma, but its co-author and star, Ann Perelló, denounced on Twitter that she had been told that she was falling off the programming by not fit in the line of the shows What will they schedule from now on? Palma City Council, of the PP, has announced that, also in this case, it is a matter of budget.

Also the kiss between two women in ‘Lightyear’which already caused controversy at the time, has been reason enough for the new Vox councilor for culture in the Cantabrian town of Santa Cruz de Bezana remove it from summer programming closed by the previous team.

The last case of censorship in less than a week has occurred in the Burgos town of Briviesca. The play ‘The sea: vision of some children who have never seen it’ was scheduled to be performed there, a text by the award-winning playwright Alberto Conejnero (‘La piedra oscura’) together with Xavier Bobés that tells the true story of a republican professor who He promised his students to visit the sea, but he couldn’t keep his promise because he was shot.

It just so happens that the teacher was from the same town as Briviesca. Once again, the new government team, now from the PP thanks to the votes of Vox and Ciudadanos, alleged budget problems, but its director is convinced that it is censorship.
