"Migrare", the scenic proposal to make visible the difficulties of migrant women in the 8M of Dénia
Within the framework of the commemoration of 8M, International Women's Day, the Department of Equality of the Dénia City Council has organized a whole program of activities aimed at raising awareness among the population. It will be this day when the show takes place I will migrate, a mixture of theatre, dance and balance on stilts under the direction of Joan Santacreu.
It will take place, therefore, in the Plaza del Consell on March 8, Wednesday, at 12:00. This will be after the reading of the manifesto by this year's honorees, the footballers of the Dianense women's first team.
In this scenic proposal, the company Maduixa will represent I will migrate through the musical compositions of Damián Sánchez and the choreographies of Cristina Fernández. Thus, the actresses Laia Sorribes, Melissa Usina, Paula Quiles, Sara Canet and Cristina Maestre carry out a story linked to obstacles and overcoming them.
The four characters use stilts in a completely empty scene to materialize "invisible borders, irrational hatred and prejudice" suffered by migrants, especially women. The four women represent the people who must leave their homeland to migrate and are rejected in the place to which they move.
A fight that the company defines as typical of "strong, brave and, above all, resilient women." This intervention highlights the role and situation of women in the migration process, a scenario always full of difficulties and added barriers, as is expressed with the choreographies on stilts, which require a great exercise in concentration, strength and balance.
That same day, on Marqués de Campo street, at 19:00 p.m., a feminist channel is planned.

The Valencian company was born in 2004 with the aim of developing transversal performances in which multiple disciplines were intertwined in indoor and outdoor shows for the entire public. With the aim of designing their own scenic language, they began to use elements such as stilts, already characteristic of their artistic creations, to create "poetry in motion to move the emotions of the spectators."
Maduixa's proposals have been awarded with prizes MAX (2015 and 2017), Feten (2010, 2012, 2014 and 2020), Valencian Performing Arts (2010, 2018 and 2020), Onda Cero (2019), Moritz 2021) and April (2009 and 2010). The company also has a long international tour, having performed in theaters and festivals in more than 25 countries and being awarded the Dutch Deventer Award.
