SPANISH DRAMA IN LONDON

Proyecto teatral que se estrenó en el Instituto Cervantes de Londres y en el que participé como actriz en febrero de 2008. Tierra Theatre es una companía de teatro afincada en Londres y que realiza proyectos de teatro experimental, cursos y talleres de teatro en español durante todo el año a cargo del director argentino Germán d'Alessandro (video 1)

I HAVE A DREAM

"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today." Martin Luther King
