Choir of the Soul- "Coro del Alma"
Our choir is addressed to women with breast cancer, members of the ALMA ZOIS Association, regardless of their age or the time that has passed since their surgery and/or treatment for breast cancer. Through music and singing, participants have the opportunity to better manage the emotions that arise from the disease, creatively process their stress and increase their confidence. It is also an important way to explore the musicality and rhythm within themselves. In addition to their love of music and their desire to participate in the choir, participants are not required to have any special musical knowledge and/or special vocal abilities

“Acting is a great journey of self-discovery.
Through this journey you discover aspects of yourself that you didn’t know, you learn to love yourself, express your emotions, and improve your psychology.
By learning theatre , you learn first and foremost about yourself, you interact with others, you let go of your emotions, you taste the joy of life!
Theatre as a living organism, which includes all performing arts, is not a solitary art.
It is teamwork and teamwork, which brings us closer to each other, liberates us, and ultimately improves us as human beings!
We will try through this theatrical group made up of women who have experienced breast cancer , to move on, to other paths that the acting art will offer us , deepening ourselves and creating pleasure in ourselves and others around us, giving a message of life.
Because life is beautiful!!!!”
