Information for the Audience:

In March 2014 a friend proposed me to continue with theater classes of the 
“Cooperativa Ar/Tv Trans”.

Once enthusiastically I accept the proposal, beginning to give theater classes 4 
hours a week to a group of ten trans girls. Through theater, we begin to know each 
other, knowing their worlds , their stories and their struggle to belong and be 
accepted in society. I realized that living on the margins unfairly and felt the 
urgent need to show, through the tools I know , their lives .

A lot of travestities living on prostitution , because they are not included and 
they are rejected when they deliver a CV , or when going to a job interview . 

The “Cooperativa Ar/Tv Trans”, the way not only as actrees but also as people.

In the group a place of containment . They say that in the cooperative feel without 
the mask , without makeup. And by my side I want people to know these profiles.
