The Little Mermaid classic tale seen in the light of the 21st Century.
After many years of silence, the Andersen’s legendary Little Mermaid speaks. She is a creature with soft skin and shiny scales that changed her tail for some beautiful legs to win the prince’s favour . That is what the story is about, but there is something else…. A detail that many overlooked: the Little Mermaid, to turn into a woman, had to give up her voice, and that left her speechless, without words for love, rage or pain. Now Carme Riera gives the Little Mermaid her voice back so she can tell the truth to the nowadays women, and also to those who that do not dare to speak and have ended up far away from the sea.
