The plays of “Mujeres Creando”

MUJERES CREANDO | WOMEN CREATING will start on March 27 to celebrate WORLD THEATER DAY and run until April 25 at the Instituto Cervantes Chicago.

ON YOUR WINGS

Amaranta Osorio

A woman suddenly loses her mother and must empty her house alone. As she does so, she discovers things she didn’t know about her mother and reflects on her life. Little by little, the house fills with monarch butterflies. This epiphany symbolizes how everything we cherish deeply, even though we may sometimes have to part with it, propels us forward. 

There is No Tomorrow

Gladys Silione

A ‘normal’ couple, Virginia, a lawyer with a thriving career, and Fabián, a law student struggling to find direction in his profession and life, begins to depend on his girlfriend in a demanding way. He refuses to embrace personal growth, subtly disguising his behavior as ‘love.’

CHRYSALIDES

"MUJERES EN CONSTRUCCIÓN"

Chrysalis delves deep into the essence of real women. Each of them embodies various feminine stances in the face of abuse, rape, violence, abortion, and social inequality. These historical women, who breathe life into female collectives, connect with contemporary women who give significance into current social movements.

SORORAL ECHOES

Estefania Mena

Three women from different parts of the world—Paulina, Marwa, and Sofía—emerge as powerful testimonies of resistance and redemption in a compelling narrative that addresses the complex challenges of survival in the face of gender violence.

A work that explores the weight of traumatic experiences and the struggle with the limits of the victims’ vulnerability.

The Anemone and the Boar

Mónica Maffía

Madrid, 1936. Two announcers with opposing ideologies confront each other as they compete in a radio program during times of censorship and unrest. The addition of a Latin American sound engineer intensifies the situation, but music, poetry and radio theater open paths of sisterhood that will weave alliances in moments of danger for the Spanish Republic.

De(Parted)

Belén Galain

“I am the age you are now. I have two children, a car, a partner in life. I have to change this piece of paper. I have to put something else, another name, another jurisdiction. I have to go.”

Elena leaves again and again. The political party broke her, and having been part of the fight has transformed her permanently.
