MATRIA is an artistic journey of love.
How can we face our family history in a state born in oblivion? Which is the family’s legacy of the wounds of th Spanish Civil War? What is the role of our mothers?

Enrique Isart Alonso was executed by firearm in August 14th of 1939, in Cartagena, Spain by the Francoism. He left a letter with a message to her mother Virginia Alonso Calvo: Mother, courage! His corpse remains somewhere in one of the edges that built the Spanish Transition to democracy.
What’s the real meaning of remembering? What belongs to oblivion?

Through the figure of Virginia Alonso, two of the women of the family build a scenic space to claim History, re-appropriate it and generate a space for collective debate to narrate silence.

From the margins we look in the margins, from the MATRIA we speak.
