Cuando la maestra María Pagés y el escritor El Arbi El Harti pensaron en la creación del montaje Yo, Carmen, no quisieron hacer una revisión del célebre personaje de la ópera de Georges Bizet. Ellos deseaban ahondar en la empatía femenina para situarse como la voz de una mujer que se alza con fuerza ante todos, nítida y contundente, para expresar la realidad que afronta y construye el alma femenina, así como los contextos donde se desenvuelve. Yo, Carmen, cuyo personaje es colectivo, aspira a ser la voz de todas las mujeres, sin subterfugios, sin dobleces heredados, sin miedos ni connotaciones construidas por la mirada patriarcal.
