Mucha Mujer

"We believe that theatre is a very powerful tool for social transformation and which at the same time allows the women who participate to have a voice and visibility. It's about trying to help these women to confront the social problems they face, from an artistic perspective. In this way, theater becomes a tool that allows these women to empower themselves and to perceive their own strength as such."

Laura Settecase |Creator and person in charge of the Mucha Mujer project.

This project is recognized and supported by:Barcelona City Council, L'Institut Catalá de les Dones andthe Barcelona Provincial Council.

Many Women works for and from cultural management to promote inclusive and accessible performing arts for all people.

It is a research and artistic creation project, dDesigned especially for women who are in a process of transformation, growth, searching and social inclusion.

The added value that the project achieves is to provide opportunity and recognition to a group that is mostly excluded in other areas of society, not only within gender equality but also from a social equality perspective.

Offering participating women a free, highly qualified course in the performing arts, including acting and physical expression, complementing their training with writing and providing instruction in technical aspects. This innovative combination uses art as a means to improve the health and social well-being of a vulnerable group.

Furthermore, the project seeks to create a space for more equitable relationships, free from any kind of discrimination, by interacting with social and cultural entities in the city.

Much Woman's Goal | What do we do?

Its objective is to train women in the performing arts each year through a theater workshop that strengthens participants' autonomy, fosters their exploration of their own agency, and promotes their social and professional integration. All of this is approached from the perspective of art as a human and social activity. The artistic training provided within the Mucha Mujer initiative aims to incorporate a language that allows women undergoing social inclusion to express themselves and find meaning in their own lives, as well as to stimulate creativity in a broad sense and facilitate the pursuit and achievement of a fulfilling life.

The participants, trained throughout the year, become involved in the creation of a new theatrical production and participate in different types of cultural events.

It is a cultural project for equality and integration that works for and with the women of Barcelona.

Interacting with entities in different neighborhoods of the city and promoting networking to strengthen community ties and providing greater visibility both locally and internationally.

Our artistic creations are the result of nine months of training and theatrical research.

1st Edition | There, where you keep the strength of your humanity

2nd Edition |Raising my life

With their lives packed in their suitcases, five women prepare to travel, searching for a place, their place... Does it matter to know where our place is, where we're going, what our destination is? What does it mean to leave and what does it mean to stay? What matters is traveling with life in the moment we live it, getting lost and finding ourselves, moving forward and dreaming, waiting at every station and also exploring. They carry in their suitcases heartbreak and the hope of being accepted, rejection and the perseverance to change, suffering and the strength to fight, addictions and overcoming them, violence and love.
