“I’m a somewhat different kind of feminist than the others,” wrote Rosa Maria Arquimbau in her column in La Rambla de Catalunya in March 1931, and also, “our feminism must be broadly liberal, radical, and democratic. And the motto must always be femininity, as undoubtedly, its success depends on it.” Marie, the Red is one of the few theatrical works by Arquimbau that was actually premiered in Barcelona. A text that fascinates for its forward-thinking ideas, for the boldness of making a woman deeply committed to social struggle and women’s rights the protagonist, and for delving into a taboo and complex space like prisons.
What makes us prisoners? The laws? Prejudices? History? The gaze of others?
We approach it without mincing words, with a striking rouge à lèvres and a good stiletto heel: with genuine Arquimbau spirit.
