The initiatives of Sete Anos - Associação Cultural, founded by choreographer Cláudia Dias, will be hosted at EVC as part of the Season Partners — 2026 program.
The discussion cycly at the Festival Mulheres em Marcha begins on March 11, starting with the creation Sweat, Sweat, Sweat (a set of small confrontations), by Sónia Baptista. This discution will seek to reflect on menopause as a physical and creative experience, both individual and collective, but also as a social, clinical, and political phenomenon. Through a dialogue that will cover symptoms, aging, time, body, mind, pain, blood, sweat, tears and laughter, memory and forgetfulness, energy and fatigue, the impact of this phase of life on women's identity and, in particular, on artists and performers will be explored.
Between intimate experience and shared narrative, menopause is here considered as a subject for creation and critical thinking: a moment of transition—a “late summer”—in which the body transforms and forces new ways of listening, being present, and relating to the world.
Festival Mulheres em Marcha is held with the support of the Municipality of Seixal and in partnership with Estúdios Victor Córdon.
