Opposition knots in the fight against the dictatorship
Description:
Within the series "From Dictatorship to Democracy", coordinated by the professor of contemporary history at the UAB Carme Molinero, the Faculty of Arts & Humanities will host the colloquium "Nusos opositors en la lluita contra la dictadura" [Opposition knots in the fight against the dictatorship]. The various papers of the conference will address the role of the anti-Franco opposition in the delegitimisation, questioning and crisis of Francoism, an activism that made it impossible to maintain the dictatorship. The colloquium is coordinated by Professor Molinero and Pere Ysàs, professor of contemporary history at the UAB, and will feature a series of presentations on the spaces of dissidence during the dictatorship, the role of communists and the “revolutionary left” in the democratic struggle, the renewal of nationalism, the reconstruction of the PSOE and anti-Francoist cultural expressions. The series is part of “Spain in Freedom. 50 Years”, a set of activities organised by the Spanish government throughout 2025 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the death of dictator Francisco Franco and the beginning of the transition to a democratic regime.

Performance "Everything¿s Fine Between Us", by the Permanent Theatre Group UAB
Description:
The Permanent Theatre Group will kick off this spring’s UAB Stage series with a performance of Everything’s Fine Between Us, by Dorota Masłowska. The group, directed by Ricard Gázquez, will stage this play on 29 and 30 May at 6:30 p.m. at the UAB Theatre Hall. This play is one of the most significant works by the Polish author, known for her powerful voice and the importance she places on language.
In Everything’s Fine Between Us, three generations of women coexist — women who did NOT survive the political and social collapse that shook Poland throughout the 20th century: the grandmother did NOT survive the occupation nor the subsequent destruction under the Nazi German armies; the mother did NOT withstand the hardships of the Soviet-backed communist regime; the daughters do NOT live and CANNOT breathe in a society ruled by the dictates of savage capitalism. And then comes the 21st century, with its successive economic, health, identity, and migration crises... and once again, ultra-conservative nationalisms — and still, they say to each other: "Everything’s fine between us".
