One of them was the actor who played Helena. She had so much energy, and with her movements she expressed everything she said. This actually turned to make her quite funny. Her facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice made me feel like she really fit the part of Helena. Also, I enjoyed the character Hermia. She was tiny and fun.

If it weren’t for her radio collar, we’d never know that one of the world’s rarest cats is crouching among the neat rows of trees. At five years old Helena has learned to meld invisibly into the human landscape, even hiding with her newborns in a vacant house during a raucous Holy Week fiesta. “Ten years ago we couldn’t imagine the lynx would be breeding in a habitat like this,” says Garrote,…

But I suppose that was expected from a play that takes place in a time where there was no such thing as gender equality. Now let’s get into some examples of gender inequality!
