In Espía a una mujer que se mata, an adaptation of Uncle Vanya, there are no period costumes or elements to recall the bucolic setting of Chekhov’s original text.
The stage is dominated by a large dining table with seven seated characters engrossed in conversations on social issues, politics and theatre: a heated discussion on art takes place at the same time of the play.
Nevertheless, the parallelisms that Veronese creates between his script and the original Russian are found in the historical and psychological aspects: just as Vanya, after having stirred up his little revolution, retreats to leave everything unchanged can be seen as similar to Argentina after the 2001 crisis when the country hesitated in front of the structural reforms necessary to combat the effects of economic collapse.
According to Veronese, Espía a una mujer que se mata «little by little addresses universal questions: alcohol, love of nature and the quest for truth through art. God, Stanislavskij and Genet».
