Women's Day: changes are already the future

2023-03-08T11:01:00.772Z


The exercise of thinking about what we are going to build going forward is interesting on a day like today.


What will we remember of this present in the future?

How will we narrate in 30 years the time of change that women are having to live through?

How will we explain to our grandchildren the train of feminism, this potential political force that pushes and pushes from behind?

Some of this exercise of imagining the future is proposed by the play

Los años

, which has just premiered at the San Martín and travels through time: the same house, the same characters, in 2020 and in 2050, when the present is already past. , governs a party that claims to return to the colony of Spain and the most applauded art is theater

because nobody wants anything recorded anymore, everything must be live.

Beyond this fiction, the exercise of thinking about what we will build going forward -

and if we recognize ourselves in the people we are going to become

- is interesting on a day like today, when thousands of women take to the streets to celebrate the rights already won claim for those who are missing.

And it is also a day to go back to the kitchen of childhood where the grandmother stirred the pot and narrated her past, when she had not yet voted, maternity was almost mandatory and the few women who worked were nurses or teachers.

Was everything in the past better?

We will have to see what our grandchildren say tomorrow when they enter our kitchens and begin to pull the thread of the pot.

Anyway, it is always convenient to have on hand the recipe of the Polish Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel Prize for Literature 2018, who claims the power of tenderness to narrate, which is a

way of looking at the world.

A way of putting yourself in the place of another, of uniting the story of everyday life with small gestures with which great similarities between people can be discovered.

And their change processes.
