“Huma/” is a play in which an isolated woman lives in a “plague world”, not only biological, but above all that of the politics of death that devours us daily.as explained by the author of the drama.

“’Mundo-plague’ is a metaphor for all forms of violence, aggression, prejudice and phobias against bodies that are ‘unwanted’ by normative standards. One day, the character Huma decides to break out of this confinement and goes out into the street, encountering the invisible viruses of the plague. So, as a woman-citizen, who grew up in the civil-military dictatorship (1964 to 1984), she manifests herself”.

Francisco Rider clarifies that the work has several metaphors, starting with the title of the work, which contains a graphic sign:

/. “The slash used in the play’s title refers to the slash and the existential challenges that the character experiences in this ‘plague world’. The slash (/) is also a dramatic cut in the word humanity”.
