Maha Bouzerda Sano has a great experience in the cultural field. Daughter of a Japanese mother and a Moroccan father, she left for Tokyo, Japan, just after getting her junior high school degree to deepen her knowledge of the language and culture. She then enrolled into communication studies in Bordeaux (France), and then in Casablanca. She began her professional career in a company specializing in cultural events, but it was at the theater that she became famous. The "Dabateatr Citizen" experience launched in 2009 by playwright Driss Ksikes, won rave reviews from the entire Rabat citizenry. Maha naturally joined the company before heading, two years later, to that of the Aquarium Theater where she launched her project, the "Dialy" play. "For more than eight months, I collected the testimony of 150 women, of all ages and social classes combined, about their sexuality”, she explains. Dialy came into being and aroused controversy. Its initiators are attacked, vilified. But the play was a great success. Since then, the author has multiplied cultural activities with a guiding thread: her feminist commitment. In 2014, she produced an educational documentary, with the Democratic League of Women's Rights, entitled "Virginity: Social Control over the Body of Women".
