Women Pioneers Epicentre
The histories of Catalan theatre before the Civil War feature few names of female playwrights. Many of the most brilliant ones had notably short careers, often for personal reasons that kept them away from the stage. In many cases, they also decided to write under masculine pseudonyms to avoid the moral strictures of their time. The Women Pioneers Epicentre seeks to help recover from a particularly unjust oblivion some of these female voices, which were fundamental for a better understanding of our theatre legacy.
