HAMBRE is a theatrical piece that captures the subversive spirit of society during that era. This performance is part of the Microtheater Miami program in its On Tour edition — short-format theater that has brought a wide range of productions to diverse audiences. It is presented to the Miami audience by director, actress, singer, and playwright Eugenia Sancho, staged by Sensodrama, and performed by Betsy Rodríguez, Letty Carmona, Eugenia Sancho, and Verónica Cancio de Grandy.

Drawing from classic works such as La Pícara Justina, El Lazarillo de Tormes, Rinconete y Cortadillo, and Sancho Panza, as well as poems by renowned playwrights like Lope de Vega, Quevedo, Góngora, and others, this piece offers a theatrical reading of a Spain marked by hunger, wit, and irreverence —where words are the only tool of power.
