Actress Lola Herrera (Valladolid, 1935) explains that she fell and injured her hip, but that when the play begins all pains vanish. "It is a complete liberation to stop being myself and dive into the lives of other women with different problems," points out the performer, who has almost seven decades on stage. For a year now, Herrera has been touring the country with Camino a la Meca, a play written by Athol Fugard and directed by Claudio Tolcachir, which has just arrived at the Goya Theatre, where it will be seen from this Wednesday until May 24. The play is inspired by the true story of Helen Martins, a South African sculptor who fought to embrace the life she desired during the 70s. Accompanied by Natalia Dicenta and Carlos Olalla, Herrera has already performed it nearly 150 times and the audience has not stopped celebrating it.
