#ACTFEM Girls Acting For EMpowerment
It’s a technological scenic-technological project and social activism with an academic impact that accompanies continuity in the post-compulsory education system. Promoted by Plàudite Teatre, in alliance with other agents. #ACTFEM aims to take advantage of the great potential of the performing arts and digital technology to offer vulnerable young people, especially young women from complex intersectional environments, opportunities that contribute to changing their future prospects. Over the next two years it is replicated in Europe. PROJECT CO-FUNDED BY CREATIVE EUROPE Duration 28 months- Stats: 01 october 2024

FIRST STAGE: THE PILOT PROJECT
According to the 2022 Active Population Survey (EPA), school dropout rates in Catalonia exceed 17% and especially affect young women who, in situations of intersectionality, are forced to abandon their studies. Plàudite detects this need in the territory and proposes a solution. The pilot project begins in the 2023-24 academic year. The play they co-created is still performing in 2025. (See performances below).

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES:
“#Perfectament Imperfectes” #ACTFEM
“Where do the memories go? Why you left? Have you seen how he/she/it looked at you? And what? If I shut up, it will hurt less? Will he/she/it realize the love he/she/it captures? Can the sea take away my memories like it takes away the words from the sand? It is a new beginning, an opportunity to start from scratch, I am tired of borders; We still have to pack the kitchen things…” Past, present and future. Ten people confront their identities, challenges, commitments, promises of love, memories. Together they meditate on who they were and who they are to invent who they will be.”TEASER:
