"MULIER", A NEW SERIES WITH LA TEMPESTAD AT THE SERRERÍA BELGA IN MADRID

Women, music and literature come together in the first activities of the new cultural space of the Ayuntamiento de Madrid

'MULIER, donde la palabra suena'

‘MULIER, donde la palabra suena’ embodies an intrinsic and indissoluble relationship: that of word and sound, of the logic of rhythm that both share, of the communion of two languages, of the most primitive human expressions. Music and literature play with the alternation of accents, with rhetoric and with form in order to convey messages and to express or provoke feelings. It presents literature and music to the public without setting up a barrier between the two arts, without cutting the thread that has always bound them, drawing connections from the stories themselves, crossing between fiction and reality when necessary, bringing to life the musical atmospheres described in a text or unfolding the meaning of the words implicit in certain pieces of music.

Literature and music drawn from a selection of literary texts written by or starring women, as well as distinguished women and their role in the creative process of some of the great names in the history of music. A project of research, contemporary creation, outreach and experimentation supported by GEMA, the ICCMU and the Asociación de Mujeres en la Música. ‘MULIER, donde la palabra suena’ invites us to an obvious play on words: MUSIC AND LITERATURE. With women in the foreground. There is no single reason why; there are many, endless reasons. As many as the women who have influenced the creation of literary and musical works throughout history. And who continue to do so.
