Teatro de La Abadía hosts cabaret play about Mujeres Libres

The theatrical production ‘LIBRES!!!’ is performing at the Teatro de La Abadía in Madrid, focusing on the history of ‘Mujeres Libres’, an anarchist organization founded in 1936 to promote gender equality. The play highlights the lives of key figures such as Lucía Sánchez Saornil, Mercedes Comaposada, and Amparo Poch y Gascón, who sought to empower women through intellectual training, economic independence, and social reform.

Directed by Andrés Lima and written by Esther Carrodeguas, the show utilizes a cabaret and ‘sicalíptico’ style to blend historical political struggle with musical performances. The production features actresses Alba Flores, Laura Galán, and Nüll García. It explores themes of autonomy and grassroots political action, connecting the historical fight for women's rights during the Spanish Civil War era to contemporary social discussions.
