“Fuenteovejuna” (Teatro Real, Madrid)

This ballet tells how a whole village in the midst of Andalusia, Fuente Obejuna, rebels against the abuses perpetrated by a nobleman, and finally executes him. When the King and Queen send a judge to clarify the case, not even by subjecting the villagers to the worst possible tortures do they achieve that they denounce the guilty party, since they all, with one voice, assume the death of the ignoble nobleman and the responsibility of their destiny.
