Casa Árabe is hosting this show, a journey about the role played by women, portrayed through two archetypes from different eras, allowing us to delve into the facets which they share in common. It will be presented by Matilde Cabello, with accompaniment by Marisol Membrillo and Antonio Moreno on guitar, on Wednesday, June 12. Sign up here.
Resulting from various conferences and colloquiums by Matilde Cabello, in which a journey through the evolution of the role played by women from Al-Andalus to Andalusian copla is explored, with accompaniment by Marisol Membrillo, this show was created to take us into the world of love, heartbreak, betrayal, revenge, and generosity despite adversity, from the feminine vibe of Andalusia to the patriarchal models imposed across time.
