Sol Picó presents a collaborative project on contemporary women, asking herself about the condition of women.It is a collective view of women together with other choreographers: artists with whom they share their profession and concerns and with whom the role of women within the current social structure will be reconsidered. These artists, all with perspectives that come from diametrically opposite cultures but with important points in common, have been crossed through casual encounters that have ended up converging in this project.

These artists, some of which have had to break the prevailing schemes in their cultures of origin, have different styles, techniques and languages, that can even be unknown to her companions, but they all raise the same questions and seek the same answers.

Ways of dancing that combine different techniques and languages unknown among them but united will seek to deepen in a theme that continues in force despite the passage of time: the situation of women in today’s world. A complex subject that opens doors to many questions: What is the historical neglect of a fundamental part of the artistic contribution of women? Why does your legacy disappear ?, Why roads already covered have to be opened again? And perhaps the fundamental question: Why, in times of political correctness in which Western women are constantly reminded that we have equal opportunities, do these questions still arise?
