Mapa a Pandataria

Description

Pandataria is an island belonging to the Pontine Archipelago, in the Tyrrhenian Sea, where the Romans used to exile women who did not conform to the norms and where, centuries later, Mussolini imprisoned his opponents. Pandataria is also the name of the show that an independent dance company decides to create about the real history of that island, which is now reclaimed as a symbol of diversity and feminism. “Map to Pandataria” narrates the company’s process as they face the greatest challenge of their lives: premiering “Pandataria,” a show starring Cayetana Guillén-Cuervo, Chevi Muraday, and Elio Toffana, with choreography and direction by Muraday himself, at the Roman theater of Mérida. Such a monumental challenge that, with only a month left, the play is unfinished. Rehearsals have not been able to begin, and complications are starting to pile up. The island may end up being the company’s final destination.
