The Two of Us

Mariana is a Colombian woman. She’s single, career-driven, and lives in London.
Blanca is a Colombian woman. She’s a wife of seventy-five years, a mother of nine, a grandmother of forty, and has always been home.
Both are passionate about living and loving. But, as Mariana returns home to Colombia, she is abruptly confronted by the expectations of her family, culture, and traditions. By embarking on a fantastical journey through her grandmother Blanca’s life, Mariana discovers how much their paths as Latin American women diverge and cross.
Through exhilarating movement, music, and language, The Two of Us explores the universal joy and pain of two women communicating across a generational gap.
‘The following summer she met Danelito. They dated. Got engaged. Got married. Became a wife. Got pregnant. Became a mother. Became a grandmother. Became Blanca.’

MarianaMalena Theatre Company
We are MarianaMalena, a Latin American female-led theatre company based in London. Since 2016, we have focused on creating award-winning pieces that explore interdisciplinary and horizontal collaboration between artists. Through our devising methodology, Creación Colectiva, we develop risk-taking work by intersecting physicality, multilingual text, design, music and our diverse cultural experiences. We aim to give voice to Latin American stories that have yet to inspire London audiences.
