The performances by women in El Salvador aim to initiate difficult conversations—from abuse to forced motherhood—and provide an emotional release from tragic experiences

The stage curtain opens on Evelyn Chileno, a stout, middle-aged woman wearing a red shirt and apron. She is surrounded by the recreated chaos of the capital’s central market. Hands appear from behind a curtain to hand her a baby, then a bag, then another baby, then a basket to balance on her head.

Chileno acknowledges that the relationship with her daughter was cold; hugs and other expressions of love were rarely exchanged. “Once when Jaqueline was 12, she told me maybe I wasn’t her mother because I treated her so badly,” she admits. “I didn’t know these women,” she says. “Back then, I didn’t talk to anyone. For me, everyone was a bad person. I didn’t trust anyone.”

La Cachada is not the first troupe to tackle trauma in El Salvador. Since at least the country’s civil war, theater has provided an outlet for mental health care.
