Piratas y libélulas

Theater saves lives.

In Piratas y Libélulas, Isabel de Ocampo follows the staging of a play by a group of pupils in a high school in Las Tres Mil Viviendas, a conflictive area in Seville. “Raúl y Julia” is the version, adapted to the present day, of Shakespeare´s “Romeo and Juliet” presented by Los Shespirs (in a joking reference to the English author), a group formed by gypsy and non-gypsy pupils in which there are difficulties and conflicts, but also joy and the desire for self-improvement.
