The show "Caure - To Fall ” by playwright and director Helena Tornero, premieres at the Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria in Barcelona as part of the international project WIRE (Women in Resistance), funded by the EU and led by the UAB. Its objective is to place the role of women, both as agents and victims, at the centre of current historical narratives of anti-totalitarian resistance in Europe, to help reshape the historical memory and the values associated with it.

“This theatrical proposal is, apart from its artistic value, an action aimed at repairing another inexcusable oblivion: that of the women who fought - and still fight - against the totalitarian dictatorships that developed during the 20th century and, instead, have not been treated equally in relation to their male counterparts,” says its director.

which coordinates the WIRE project, the other entities participating in the project were the Memorial Democràtic, the Villa Decius Association, from Poland, the Scuola di Pace di Monte Sole, from Italy, and the Contemporary Social History Archives (ASKI), from Greece. The play will be the chance for the history students from these countries to be the real stars of this adventure.
