“Julio Chávez’s response to the challenge almost defies description - it goes beyond the evocative power of words... You have to see it to believe it...”

Acclaimed by the public and critics alike, the star of Argentine cinema, Julio Chávez, takes to the Madrid stage for the first time with Yo soy mi propia mujer, featuring the chameleon-like gifts of a character who is able to generate plentiful quantities of both tenderness and pathos. The play, winner of a Tony Award (Best Play) and Drama Desk Award (Outstanding Play), details the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf (1828-2002) who was born a man but always felt like a woman and lived a multiple existence ranging from delicate lady to irate male. It portrays the refined aristocracy of an invented woman and the savage violence of a survivor from the shockwaves of National Socialism. Yo soy mi propia mujer premiered in Buenos Aires in 2007.
