ANTIPRINCESAS – CATARINA EUFÉMIA

Cláudia Gaiolas

©Estelle Valente

The story of Catarina Eufémia has no princesses or castles, journeys to distant kingdoms or creatures never before imagined. It is a story of peasants who work the land from sunrise to sunset, sowing, reaping and harvesting the wheat, which will later be taken from their hands. It is a story of injustice, but also of resistance. Catarina is the heroine of this story because she lived a hard life, but did not lose her joy and the will to fight for a better world. She was born and died in the Alentejo region, confronted the powerful and never stopped singing. In the new show of the Antiprincesses cycle, we will sing with her.
