The International Residui Teatro's Laboratory organizes in Spain "Tradition-Transmission-Transgression 2021", an international meeting of women creators within the framework of the Magdalena Project, an international network of women in contemporary arts. The meeting is directed by Viviana Bovino, member and founder of Residui Teatro.

"Tradition-Transmission-Transgression 2021" aims to reflect on the role of women in the transmission and preservation of several cultural traditions, and on the responsibility to transform them when these very traditions confirm a social perspective that does not guarantee equal opportunities and rights.

Magdalena Spain 2021The meeting will take place from October 6th to 12th, 2021 in the beautiful municipality of Ayllón, Autonomous Community of Castilla y León, and provides workshops, round tables for reflection, concerts, exhibitions, shows and activities together with the local community.

The meeting foresees the presence and participation of Spanish and international artists who are promoting initiatives that favor the visibility of women in the artistic field, using art as a tool for social transformation. The meeting will be open to anyone who is interested in reflecting on the theme of the meeting, using the arts as a tool for personal and community transformation.

People interested in participating in all the training proposals provided for by the meeting, and who come from outside Ayllón, will stay in the same place as the invited teachers and will carry out an intensive and residential reflection experience.

The round tables, work demonstrations, exhibitions and shows will be open to all interested persons.
