theatre about Franco

For the artist-in-residence organization Witte Rook in Breda, I'm writing an article about the latest project by the Rotterdam-based Spanish artist David Maroto. Maroto explores the relationship between his family history, the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship and the theater play Franco de Tweede (1976) by the Breda-based Aktiverend Volksteater. Maroto's project is created in the context of the Spain projects by Witte Rook, and the result will be presented in June 2026 in Breda. Photo: Breda City Archives
