Erika. Reflections on a New Era

The play explores the power of the arts in general, and theatre in particular, as a tool for resisting the rise in violence and war in contemporary society. Erika is a Jewish woman born in Germany who now lives in Madrid. She is the director of a cadet residence and the central figure in the story. She is caught in a conflict between two residents: Adrian, who is preparing to enter the Spanish Army, and Khalil, a Syrian refugee training to enter drama school.
