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. Little by little, the house fills with monarch butterflies.
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.
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 in moments of danger for the Spanish Republic.
Sororal Echoes
Estefania Mena
Three women from different parts of the world – Paulina (Mexican), Marwa (Palestinian), and Sofia (Guatemalan) – emerge as powerful testimonies of resistance and redemption against gender-based violence.

“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 and having been part of the struggle broke her forever.
There is No Tomorrow
Gladys Silione
Virginia, a successful lawyer, and Fabián, a law student, are a fairly normal couple. One day Fabian starts competing with his girlfriend, disguising his resentment with “love.” In the end, we are all guilty of femicide.
Water People Theater proudly announces the finalists for our “Women Creating” Theatrical Concerts for Human Rights. The theatrical concerts will start on March 27 to celebrate WORLD THEATER DAY and run until April 22 at the Instituto Cervantes in Chicago. The organization is pleased with the excellent response to the open call. Out of the forty-seven submitted texts, seventeen were shortlisted and forwarded to an international jury.
The jury, comprising renowned women professionals in Hispanic theater—Cheté Cavagliatto, Rossana Hernández, Amaranta Osorio, Gennys Pérez, and Iraida Tapias—selected five texts:
“For their quality, courage, and innovation intricately linked to human rights. These dramatic proposals elevate female voices and highlight their commitment to theater made by women.”
