Pilot edition

FIRST STAGE: THE PILOT PROJECT

According to the 2022 Active Population Survey (EPA), school dropout rates in Catalonia exceed 17% and especially affect young women who, in situations of intersectionality, are forced to abandon their studies.

Plàudite detects this need in the territory and proposes a solution. The pilot project begins in the 2023-24 academic year. The play they co-created is still performing in 2025. (See performances below).

“#Perfectament Imperfectes” #ACTFEM

“Where do the memories go?
Why you left?
Have you seen how he/she/it looked at you?
And what? If I shut up, it will hurt less?
Will he/she/it realize the love he/she/it captures?
Can the sea take away my memories like it takes away the words from the sand?
It is a new beginning, an opportunity to start from scratch, I am tired of borders; We still have to pack the kitchen things…”
Past, present and future. Ten people confront their identities, challenges, commitments, promises of love, memories. Together they meditate on who they were and who they are to invent who they will be.”
