📖 Historical memory through objects

Two puppeteers open an antique trunk that could easily be tucked away in any ordinary attic. Inside, rather than grandmother's porcelain dishes, lies the silenced story of thousands of women whose heads were shaved during the Spanish Civil War.

Through this grotesque journey, the performance retrieves painful realities that should never be concealed again, interweaving spoken testimony, documentary theatre, and everyday objects.

🎭 The work of ButacaZero

Organised and produced by ButacaZero, this piece relies on an engaging and committed theatrical language. The production transforms historical memory into an immediate and compelling live experience on the Gazteszena stage.

✨ An essential theatrical encounter with the silenced memory of women.
