Fuenteovejuna stands as a resonant exploration of the people's right to rise against tyranny and oppression. Written in 1613 by Lope de Vega and based on historical events, the play tells the story of the villagers of Fuenteovejuna, who suffer under the brutal rule of a corrupt and arrogant commander. Driven to the breaking point, the citizens led by women discover strength in unity and seize power.
