MATA HARI, don't blindfold my eyes - preview

Our plays revolve around the theme of women throughout History, exploring the roles of women in different spheres - from housewives and devout believers to empowered leaders, queens, businesswomen and femme fatales. Through this theme, we invite the community to reflect and analyse the parallels between historical and contemporary issues, considering changes in mentality, identity, solidarity, respect and love. We address issues such as the Me Too movement, gender violence, inequality and discrimination in our performances, never shying away from difficult conversations but always grounding our work in literature and theatre. As expatriates living in the Netherlands, we have successfully produced three independent performances during 2020-2023. We're working in our next production for 2025.

A theatrical monologue by Carmen Toledo about the life of the well-known exotic dancer Mata Hari, performed by actress Cristina Bolis.

Juan C. Tajes Microteatro

“MATA HARI, don’t blindfold my eyes” is a theatrical monologue written by Carmen Toledo about the life of the well-known exotic dancer Mata Hari, who was accused of espionage during the First World War and shot for this cause at 41 years of age.It focuses on the topic of using people and, more specifically, a woman, as a scapegoat for political situations and vested interests.It&#x27;s a story of manipulation, abuse, power games and corrupt processes.Any connection with what is still happening in the World a century later is mere chance.It&#x27;s also the second theatrical project that Carmen Toledo writes and directs in Amsterdam. The first was THE RED BOX, a performance about the visibility and empowerment of prostitutes throughout History, thus continuing with the theme of Women through the centuries, based on real characters.Women must stop being anecdotal to be historical.This play seeks to shed a little light on this process that has been going on for centuries and is still not over.
