In a society characterised by an ever-increasingly lacerated social fabric, Rodríguez stages the text by Alexandra Badea, which tells of stories of love and unease, where remorse and regret dialogue with the present, and intimate space and political space intersect, revealing the difficulties and fractures that characterise consciences.

Extremophile (“extreme” plus the suffix “phile, which derives from the Greek philéô, to love), is the word used to describe those organisms that are capable of growing and prospering in extreme conditions, or rather environments rendered hostile due to temperature, acidity or salinity. In other words, those who, as “lovers” of extreme environments, live differently from other beings. This is also the case for the characters in the piece by Alexandra Badea—as the title suggests—, who experience three (or more) stories of love and unease. The cabinet head of a ministry falls in love with a left-wing militant, while a teacher blows themselves up in front of a school; a marine biologist is torn between their work as a researcher and the opportunity to serve a powerful multinational that is, however, devastating the seabed; an Israeli soldier, who pilots drones, watches their enemies make love on the terraces of their homes. Rodríguez stages the work, creating dialogue between guilt and forgotten dreams, the intimate and the political, and states: “when these characters speak about their work, connecting it to love, in some way they also speak about a world that is becoming unbearable”.
