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".
