A project born from a traumatic personal experience that became a play, a documentary, and a book. "Sucia" (Dirty) was the catharsis, the angry yet defiant cry of a woman who was abused by a masseur without knowing how to react. In her new work, "Cortarse un pie con una motosierra" (Cutting a Foot with a Chainsaw), Mestanza returns to the theme of sexual abuse against women, focusing not so much on the female victims, though that is also present, but on the so-called cancel culture that socially and personally ostracizes aggressors, whether they are guilty or victims of a pariah.</p>]]></description>
