«In Ibsen´s work
Casa de muñecas   constituted an entire provocation in its days. Written in the most philosophical stage of the author, this work it is an educative theatrical piece. It undresses a world in which women do not have the option to take their own life in their hands and lack the freedom understood like self-determination. It is not about feminism, its a reclamation in favor of the human being to construct its life and not to be a simple toy or adornment «, De León indicated.
