La filla de Chagall

Monologue. Tamar is a young Israeli woman of Sephardi origin who lives in Tel Aviv. Her family wants her to go to Girona, taking a rusty old key that has been handed down from generation to generation. Supposedly, it opens the door of the house where their ancestors lived, in the Jewish Quarter, before being expelled by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. Tamar refuses to believe in this family fairy tale: she wants to move on and be free of the dead weight of history. However, she will end up realising that she cannot escape from her own roots.
