Las modistas

A period comedy written and directed by Claudia Puig Moysset about four workers at a Catalan textile factory in the summer of 1962, who must deal with a commission that seems impossible.

Claudia Puig Moysset wrote and directed this period comedy, set in the summer of 1962 at the Fibracolor textile factory in Tordera. Its protagonists are Rosa, Julia, Catalina and Clara, four workers who receive an unexpected commission and must respond with wit and creativity to a challenge that, at first, seems to have no clear way out.

Among sewing machines and fabrics, working together gives way to conflicts, love affairs, secrets and decisions that transform their lives. Humour sits alongside an emotional look at the relationship between the four women and at the social and professional limitations of the era. The cast is made up of Liza Muradyan, Paula Solís, Jorge Puerta, Guilligan Dionisio, Luisa Florez and Chiara Blanco.

The show is presented as a tribute to the women of workshops and factories who played a decisive role in the Catalan textile industry without receiving recognition for it. The running time is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. The Salto Escénico theatre in Madrid hosts this production.
