This text explores the existential anguish of the life of many women living in a world dominated by patriarchy society. The "madwoman", in this conflicted and painful existential process which separates her body, her awareness and her emotions, is overwhelmed by religious dogma and a morality based on submission to the reproduction of the species, and loses her identity and her freedom, to become a woman alone among the crowd. She feels worthless, even to herself, and she is not allowed to have relationships with men on a level of equality and social equity.
The dates for this show are:
25 July, 7:00 pm
26 July, 5:30 pm
27 July, 7:00 pm
