La Trena
From Laetitia Colombani, directed by Clara Segura
This is the story of three women. They were born on different continents but they share the same desire for freedom. It's the story of their lives; Smita, a Dalit woman struggling to change her daughter's future, in an India that still condemns these castes to illiteracy; Giulia, a young Sicilian who has decided to follow the tradition of the family business and who unexpectedly has to cope with her imminent bankruptcy; and Sarah, who is threatened with her successful career as a lawyer in Quebec. All three fight against what is expected of them and face adversity with determination, in order to achieve what they propose. Somehow the fight against what destiny had reserved for them and the indestructible will to live with hope and illusion will unite them. Particular and resistant lives, like women's hair.

An idea from Cristina Genebat, Marta Marco, Clara Segura and Bet Orfila
A proposal by Cristina Genebat, Marta Marco, Clara Segura and La Perla 29
The novel La tresse, (in Catalan , La trena ) by Laetitia Colombani, reached us at just the right time. After those extraordinary days when the world seemed to have stopped, we met again to recommend a story that had moved us. Then we discovered that we had all read La Trena at the same time.
The four of us, who have so little to do with Smita, Giulia and Sarah, had been deeply moved by the story of our protagonists. His search for freedom, for his own voice, his obstinacy, his perseverance and his courage shook us until we felt that it was a story that had to be told out loud. A story that we wanted to represent in a theater.
Over the years, we have collaborated on several theater projects. We rehearsed together, spent long seasons in Barcelona and toured for a long time with pieces like Bodas de sangre or Les noies de Mossbank road . For a long time we wanted to meet again to work together again, to tell a story of women that we really liked, that reached our souls. A story, as Colombani says, that is already ours even though it does not belong to us.
We think we've found it.
Marta, Cristina, Bet and Clara
