Legacy & Challenge

Since 1986, hundreds of Magdalena festivals, gatherings and events have happened across the world - made possible through the fortitude of some extraordinary women artists defiantly determined to give an equality of voice to women’s performance.

Legacy & Challenge honoured all these women, their theatre and their knowledge, and brought many of them together in Cardiff - the Project’s birthplace. We proceeded with the festival despite the difficult financial realities in the UK; so many insisted that we mark this milestone and CELEBRATE all that has been achieved.
