VELEDA – Mulheres e Monoparentalidade

The project is aimed at single women with dependent children and in situations of socio-economic vulnerability in the three municipalities of Cova da Beira.

The project’s artistic proposal is based on the use of theatre as a creative agent for personal and social transformation, and it aims to carry out two interconnected core activities: social and artistic research laboratories, to develop soft skills and initiate theatre practice, and the creation of a documentary theatre show, together with a professional artistic team.

VELEDA: Minidoc
Laura Garcia “My lines are truly as if they were my own. I think I've managed to reach that level where I'm the one there, even if I haven't experienced that situation.”
Tânia Simões “The biggest problems we have as a single-parent family are school hours and work hours. Normally, in the restaurant business, you always work late into the night. So, I really had to give up that job.”
Dicotomias In the Veleda Project, during a visit to the Modern Art Centre, there is talk of ‘things we value highly but which often clash’: Home and Work, Freedom and Values, Independence and... Marriage?
Rosa Figueira “Before participating in the Veleda project, I was very nervous. Usually, I would finish my sentences and no one would understand them. After participating in the project, I am calmer now, I know myself better. I am more “take it easy”, so to speak.”

Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS initiative.
