Sinopse da peça

Ao atingir a idade adulta, em um período tumultuado que antecedeu a Guerra Civil e Revolução Social Espanhola da década de 1930, a revolucionária anarquista lésbica Lucía Sánchez Saornil se junta aos anarquistas organizados na Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT). Mulheres militantes, incluindo as amigas de Lucía, Mercedes Comaposada e Amparo Poch y Gascón, e a sua amante América Barroso, vivenciam a opressão de gênero dentro e fora do movimento operário anarquista.

Debatendo a liderança masculina anarquista e buscando centrar o movimento na libertação das mulheres, bem como questões em de classe, elas formam uma organização interseccional do movimento de mulheres chamado Mujeres Libres. Através do caos da guerra e da tensão resultante nas suas relações, as suas lutas pessoais e coletivas para a libertação em um período de crescente fascismo pressagiam e são paralelas às nossas lutas de hoje.

Lucia está disponível em quatro versões dos seguintes idiomas:

Synopsis de l’ouvrage

Arrivée à l’âge adulte dans une période tumultueuse menant à la guerre civile espagnole et à la révolution sociale des années 1930, la révolutionnaire anarchiste lesbienne Lucía Sánchez Saornil rejoint les anarchistes qui s’organisent au sein de la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT, Confédération Nationale du Travail). Les femmes organisatrices, dont les amies de Lucía, Mercedes Comaposada et Amparo Poch y Gascón, et son amante América Barroso, subissent l’oppression de genre à la fois au sein et à l’extérieur du mouvement ouvrier anarchiste.

Débattant du leadership anarchiste masculin et cherchant à centrer le mouvement sur la libération des femmes ainsi que sur les questions de classe, elles forment une organisation de mouvement de femmes intersectionnelle appelée Mujeres Libres. À travers le chaos de la guerre et les tensions qui en résultent sur leurs relations, leurs luttes personnelles et collectives pour la libération dans une période de montée du fascisme préfigurent et sont parallèles à nos luttes d’aujourd’hui.

Lucía est disponible en quatre versions linguistiques :

Al llegar a la edad adulta en un período tumultuoso previo a la Guerra Civil y Revolución Social Española de la década de 1930, la lesbiana anarquista revolucionaria Lucía Sánchez Saornil se une a los anarquistas que se organizan en la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT). Las mujeres organizadoras, incluidas las amigas de Lucía, Mercedes Comaposada y Amparo Poch y Gascón, y su amante América Barroso, experimentan la opresión de género tanto dentro como fuera del movimiento obrero anarquista.

Assassination Disclaimer:

The writers expressly denounce the assassination of political figures and intend the fictional Assassination scenario in the “20/20” play to discourage any such actions. During these politically polarized times, we have noticed a trend on left and right to direct animus toward individual figures and to imagine that violence against individuals would solve shared political woes, when the truth is that such strategies or tactics would only cause a strong reaction of repressive laws and human rights abuses, rather than constructive political change. Out of concern for human life and for our collective power, we oppose true-life assassinations and present them here merely in the context of fiction to channel those impulses harmlessly in a sort of catharsis for those daydreaming about such possibilities.

Already seen the play? OK, but have you seen all eight scenarios? And exclusive interviews with cast and crew?

Synopsis: It’s the year 2020. The President has been re-elected, the climate is heating up, and the economy is in meltdown. Now, it’s up to all of us to figure out what happens next. In this satirical participatory performance, audience members choose from a list of possible scenarios they want staged: impeachment? a coup? a revolution? “20/20” asks what people power looks like in a time of vast uncertainty when even choosing to do nothing at all has its consequences.

This show will have lots of audience participation, such as voting on the order of watching the scenarios and a chance to chat with the actors, crew, co-writers, and director during the breaks!
