This historical musical, led by a great cast of live actors and musicians, narrates the struggle in search of the ideals and dreams of Francisca, and other notable women of our nation.

“Discovering and telling the story of La Mariscala is an invitation to pull the end of a skein that reveals to us a universe of Peruvians, those with their own name and the anonymous, who continue to forge Peru and their own desires through effort and courage. . Not only those who faced times of war, but all those who struggle to this day to find the cracks to change a system that continues to deny them equal opportunities. But even so, they advance, and we hand in hand with them ”, indicated Gonzalo Polar, producer, composer and arranger.
