The girl in the group

Synopsis

This dramatic/musical piece shows the artistic and life trajectory of a woman, conditioned by a strong patriarchal structure that will affect her personal growth and her career, in which she will have to fight alone with a multitude of external and internal obstacles to achieve her vital and professional goals.

The play also aims to review and make visible the role of women in music and the performing arts in general, showing the difficulties they had to face in this country, after a fierce dictatorship and up to the present day. To this end, we accompany our protagonist on her personal life journey, common to that of so many other brave women who dared to break the structures and roles imposed on them, sometimes at a high cost to their lives, dealing with loneliness, misunderstanding, harassment or lack of support, as well as their own inner conflicts.
