About

Spain is currently being shaken to its core by a rapidly expanding feminist wave crashing against its patriarchal social structures as the country emerges from its recent fascist past.

But to understand this movement we must look back to an uncomfortable past through the eyes and voices of those who have been historically left out of the narrative: women.

The 'S' Is Silent is a theatre piece about womanhood during Franco's 40-year-long fascist regime, recovering those female voices that were silenced during this dark era of recent Spanish history.

As Europe descends into what seems like a revival of fascist ideals, we must look back into our not-so-distant past to see what happens when hate, bigotry, and a fascist government wins over a country.

Through spoken word, visual poetry, and flamenco dance, Mad, Who? will transport audiences to the most important events of the Spanish civil war, retold from a woman's perspective.

This show is performed entirely in Spanish, with English subtitles.
