Palabras de Mujer

The Palabras de Mujer show aims to reclaim the names and works of certain female poets, giving them the place they deserve in history.

We want to pay a small tribute to those women who had to fight against their surroundings to pursue their vocation, their dream: writing, being poets. A tribute to those women who, over the centuries, could not publish under their own names, as well as to those who came after and continue to do so.

Palabras de Mujer is a show performed by a team of women, paying homage to many of THEM, directed by María José Goyanes, who shares the stage with actresses Gloria Vega and Karmele Aranburu, accompanied on the piano by Maru Mararia.It features various works written by poets from different eras, weaving an artistic piece that goes beyond the text, interspersed with songs performed individually and in harmony. Thus, the work includes spoken parts, dramatized scenes, music, and dance.

An artistic proposal that also highlights the talent of veteran actresses with long professional careers, giving them visibility in the contemporary scene.
