MUJERES CREANDO

WOMEN CREATING

Theatrical Concert Series for Human Rights

Water People Theater invites application for
“Mujeres Creando,” a series of Theatrical Concerts
celebrating Human Rights. March 2025, Chicago.

Mujeres Creando | Women Creating is a vibrant space for connection, dialogue, and the celebration of theatrical works by women. Dedicated to amplifying their voices and perspectives, it highlights their deep commitment to human rights through the transformative and unifying power of theater.

Water People Theater calls on Latin American and Spanish female writers to submit theatrical works exploring the theme of human rights. An international jury of accomplished professionals from theater, academia, poetry, and literature reviews the submissions, selecting three outstanding texts to honor and showcase.

The selected texts will be featured in the theatrical concert series for human rights, Mujeres Creando | Women Creating, held in Chicago during March to honor International Women’s Day and World Theater Day. Each author will be awarded a $300 USD prize in recognition of their work.

Join us, and we will be heard!
