Mu Dai Werara Trans – About Us, the Trans Girls

Mu Dai Werara Transversal – About Us, the Transversal Girls is a stage creation born from the heart of the Las Mariposas del Café collective, made up of Transversal Embera Indigenous women displaced from their territories in Risaralda and Chocó. The work is an act of resistance and memory: through life stories, song, dance, ritual and testimony, these women share their identity, their dignity and the experiences of discrimination and displacement they have endured. It is not just theater: it is a space of encounter where art becomes a tool for healing and visibility. The evening's program combines intimate moments of testimony with artistic expressions such as song and traditional Embera dance, creating a ritual atmosphere that invites reflection and empathy. The audience will be able to immerse themselves in personal stories that speak of life in the villages of the municipality of Santuario, Risaralda, and of the resilience of a collective that has made its art a way to dignify its existence. We recommend arriving early, at least 30 minutes before the start, to settle calmly at the Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. Dress is free, but comfortable and respectful attire is suggested, in keeping with the ceremonial nature of the presentation. The theater has access for people with reduced mobility; if you require any accommodation, contact the venue in advance. The event is suitable for all audiences, although some themes may be sensitive for minors. The Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, located in the heart of Bogotá, is an emblematic stage that has hosted artistic proposals with high social impact. Its architecture and history make it the ideal setting for a work that vindicates memory and diversity. This presentation is a unique opportunity to learn about the work of Las Mariposas del Café and support independent art that emerges from the margins.
