Foudroyantes

Ever since their grandmothers Yemma and Vóvó passed away, Rita and Alma have been heavy-hearted. Inside them, it rumbles like a storm: there is pent-up anger, held-back tears, and clouds ready to burst. Through rituals of their own invention, the two friends summon memories of their grandmothers. The invisible then reveals itself beyond the realm of the living… And the stories unfold! Behind every plant, stone, or animal lies the tale of a metamorphosis. Before our very eyes, the tales come to life: we encounter the Woman with the Lion’s Mane and the Woman Who Became a Cave—mythical women who have transformed themselves… Incredible strengths to grow and weather the inner storms! A play that speaks many languages, resonating with the magic of stories and the importance of passing down traditions and preserving memory.
