ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In a perfect dialogue between the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries, Christina Fallar?s recreates the life of a woman that is the story of many.

When history is told by women, everything changes.

With Joanna's silence, everything is understood.

"Since her father confined her, and until the moment of her death, Joanna the Mad, Queen of Castille, Queen of Aragon, Valencia, Mallorca, Navarra, Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia, Countess of Barcelona, and titular Duchess consort of Burgundy, remained imprisoned in one single room in Tordesillas. Say after me: 46 years; 552 months; 2 442 weeks; 17 094 days; 410 256 hours. Locked away, regardless of her station as Queen. During her confinement, Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, Luther's Protestant Reform broke out, and Machiavelli published The Prince. Memorize it--there's information that should stay in our memories to become legacy."
