The Voice of Butterflies is an artivistic performance originally created to commemorate the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, running as part of the VOILA! Festival at the Etcetera Theatre on Camden High Street. Created by the company Hilanderas, directed by Stephanie Prieto and performed by Stephanie Prieto and Esmeralda Sears, it draws an analogy between butterflies' lack of a physical voice and how trauma silences parts of the human body. The narrative follows a woman and her therapist on a regressive journey into childhood to uncover a secret held within the flesh, triggering a metamorphosis in which other women listen to the protagonist within the sound of her silence. After the 45-minute performance, offered in Latin American Spanish with English surtitles for ages 14 and over, Hilanderas hosts a Q&A and a Roy Hart-based workshop.
