Teresa of Jesus was a mystic, but also a cold-blooded businesswoman. For her, each new convent was not only a religious feat, but also a real estate transaction, not always a peaceful one.

How was it possible for a woman to establish herself in a masculine world that rebelled against religious ideas and practices that deviated from the common norm? What was the 16th century like when it excluded women from all matters related to spirituality? What options were there for a woman? And for a nun? How did she manage to overcome the accusations and scrutiny to which she was subjected by the Inquisition and by the society of the time?

In the form of an oratorio, Teresa confronts her reflections, doubts, the impositions of the times, and the role reserved for women, highlighting the woman within her.

We're interested in the woman, the nun. In no way are we interested in the saint, the icon of women and nuns that the Catholic Church has already sublimated. A rich and new perspective.
