Nosaltres mortals

A theatre piece based on research into women's prisons in the region, combining real testimonies and fictionalised scenes to trace the story from the 17th century to the present day.

Nosaltres, mortals is a play built from research into the history of women's prisons in the region. It combines real testimonies with fictional scenes grounded in historical documentation, and its journey runs from the present day back to the 17th century.

The production examines the origins of the female penal system and the consequences that imprisonment has on the personal, family and social lives of those who endure it. It also focuses on the persistence of inequalities over time, so that audiences can follow how some of those inequalities remain to this day.

The show is created by Nosaltres and is staged at the Teatre Municipal de Berga, a venue that hosts shows in the town.
