Directed by:  Raquel Capdet

 
 

Cast:             Angelina Llongueras

 
Phoolan is all of us: In Memory of Phoolan Devi is one woman show conceived as a homage to Phoolan Devi. Phoolan Devi was an Indian woman of low caste, who was a bandit, a member of Parliament, and a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was murdered in 2001.

 
Performed in both English and Catalan Phoolan is "document-theatre," with a style close to expressionism. The two characters in the piece blend into each other in a process of grieving and liberation that brings us closer to Phoolan Devi's spirit, and helps us recognize the obstacles and challenges of making ourselves heard.

 
Angelina Llongueras is an actress, playwright, director and theater researcher with more than 20 years experience in the scenic arts in a continuous bridge between both Europe and the Americas . She is also the author of a book about theater in indigenous Mexican culture.
