She is the embodiment of the landscape, an inspiration and the starting point for this dramatic creation. As a witness of all the events, it is the spirit of the sea that tells us the adventures of the boy and his friend, the Carrion crow, on Pessegueiro’s Island. A story about the desire for freedom and peace in a world whose existence is at stake. The fort’s ruins and the island’s real threat of submersion appear as symbolic elements of a memory that is intended to be retrieved and preserved by sharing it with the new generations.The narrative, aided in its interpretation by puppets, is defined through a language of great visuality, oneiric ambiance and poetry, capable of being understood by all audiences.As Teatro do Mar’s director, Julieta Aurora Santos, by pursuing her project of retrieving elements of Sines’ cultural identity, and by developing a dramaturgy inspired in the history, myths and traditional tales of this region, has based herself on a legend from parish of Porto Covo, the Pessegueiro Island, to be more specific – The legend of the Carrion crow’s boy – to create her own show, therefore recovering part of the immaterial legacy of the district for the new generations, in several performances all over the country, and recently, in Brazil

        150 reflections to heal

        by Julieta Suarez Valente

        This is a food book. A book that nurtures. That purifies.That detoxifies. That tries to bring us closer to our inner voice, thanks to wisdom of one who has spiritual resources and intellectual baggage, like two weapons that together set fire to the soul of those who are willing to receive. A hope-giving book. A book, which in Juliet's loving pen, makes clear the power of creation as an inevitable product of the union of being human and the magic that transcends it. A book that becomes a gift in each sentence. Lorena Pronsky-Psychologist and writer

        Malas madres

        Aborto e infanticidio en perspectiva histórica

        by Julieta Di Corleto

        It is a study on female crime in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a rigorous and original investigation that works with a wide variety of police and prison statistics, studies by experts in criminology, records and sources that allow us to understand the phenomenon in all its dimensions: press articles, legislation, doctrine; and finally, judicial files. The work shows the relationships between criminology and the modern press, reveals the disputes between police, lawyers, judges and prosecutors, while shedding light on the material reality of women accused of these crimes. By replenishing their voices and experiences, the research puts motherhood at the center which, as a social and historical construction, during the period studied was a normalizing ideal, but also a widely resisted model.

        Mujeres en torno al Surrealismo

        by Victoria Combalía

        What do these six women have in common, apart from having lived in an extraordinary world and era? They are better known as companions of the male protagonists of their time - Man Ray, Max Ernst, Samuel Beckett, André Breton, TS Eliot or Jean Cocteau, among others - than for their own works. However, they were much more than a name on a caption or a handsome face adorning parties and literary salons.

        And they say

        by Susana Sánchez Aríns

        Dicen (And they say) is a family story crossed by Franco's repression.   It tells what is not registered in notarial acts, or in newspapers, or in books, or in provincial archives. It tells a story of a day-to-day silence that became long, very long, and that has conditioned us until now.   Dicen tells real events in a network of voices silenced for generations, it is not written from the political reflection, but from the poetic justice, it is the contemporary account of the Spanish postwar period.   Dicen is an innovative book. It is not poetry, it is not an essay, it is not a short narrative and it is everything at the same time. Written in short sequences, it collects the intimate memory of a family and reconstructs their insignificant lives to show the terror of repression after the civil war. Conversations, poems, stories, essay references, fragmented sequences that the reader orders in a shocking story.   The narration drags the reader to the end by the rhythm, the different voices, the authenticity and the gradual understanding of why that time is silenced.   The author speaks of poetic justice as a way of giving life to those who did not want to be named after their death: the oppressors. This story recovers their names, their ways of acting, their personalities, their power. And it also brings back to life those who died in the ditches or lived marginalized: the victims.   It is very difficult to make historical memory from politics, however, literature is its natural space. An original work, with enormous expressive force and a unique point of view discovered by Susana Sánchez Aríns, an experienced, committed voice.   The book has received the Madrid Booksellers Award for Best Fiction Book 2019. (Premio de los Libreros de Madrid al Mejor Libro de Ficción)
