Synopsis
All butterflies die in the sea is a physical theater play that addresses the oppression of the female body and motherhood as a biopolitical entity.
The story immerses us in the moments prior to the decision made by the protagonist, spurred by the postpartum depression she suffers, and capturing the transience of the final moments before death, making visible the tensions and contradictions built and perpetuated in the collective unconscious.
This work seeks to desacralize postpartum depression and question the role of women in society as producers and reproducers of bodies. From a feminist perspective, it examines the mechanisms of regulation of this and confronts issues such as public health, laws and economics, evidencing the doubt, loneliness, freedom, time, love, desires, fear, and anger, from a poetically raw place, allowing us to unweave what has been learned.
