Quotes taken from the website... women's theatre company - using theatre of the oppressed (forum theatre) to tackle issues of oppression due to inequality and relationships of genders
''Maia, Donna and Carmen are three women who consider themselves modern and emancipated: one of them single, another married and third one divorced. Each in a distinct moment of life faces woman's models socially standardized and propagated that; somehow, they have also incorporated. In this Forum Theatre play the audience is invited to examine the social and cultural patterns that influence and / or determine the gender relationships and look for alternatives to overcome the injustices arising there from.''
''The initiative gave way to the need of the creation of a privileged space, in which the specificities of women’s daily oppressions could be discussed. A space exclusively for women in which mutual confidence is being strengthened and appreciated and in which the endeavour to overcome guilt and shame as well as competition can take place.'''
October 2010:
''...with support from KURINGA-Berlin, project S.U.S.I. and Rudi-Nachbarschaftszentrum, met in Berlin twenty women of different ages, backgrounds and stories to participate in an innovative aesthetic experience: Madalena Laboratory.''
''...The objective is to analyze with the public the consequences of the incorporation of these images in everyday life, and find alternatives to the situations of oppression and gender inequality still identified.''
The Magdalena Project is an international network of women in contemporary theatre and performance. It aims to increase awareness of women's contributions to theatre and to create the artistic and economic structures and support networks to enable women to work.
