\u00abThe idea for the project arose in mid-2020, when after a series of lockdowns, company employees clearly articulated a request for support. The double and even triple workload in conditions of uncertainty and the ban on holding mass events have created a demand for communication and creative practices in a friendly atmosphere. According to interviews with women working in the field of finance, it became clear that there are several problems: increased workload, life and work imbalance, gender stereotypes and low occupational prestige. We decided to implement the \u00abWomen and Figures\u00bb Project and invite women working in the field of finance to immerse in the world of creativity, take part in workshops, performances and miniseries, form a circle of like-minded people and tell their own stories\u00bb.

\"\u00abWomen and Figures\u00bb Project is about stereotypes and how to combat them. Women in the financial sphere are often associated with office mice. That's why together we create an opportunity to look at a woman from a different, creative side as an individual who copes equally well with her different roles. In the first meeting with the project participants, I felt incredible energy. We are all different and yet we understand each other at a glance\".

\u00abThe theater's collaboration with women - accountants, economists and financiers - is a mutually enriching experience. Accuracy, concentration and responsibility - these qualities are necessary both in the financial sphere and in the theater. The training part of the project became, in fact, not an educational program with a division into teachers and students, but a full-fledged process of sharing experiences and expanding personal horizons. In the performance and the miniseries, as well as in the professional theater, the project participants have a chance to discover their various guises. Spectators usually see only actors on stage, but the theater is created by a much larger team of professionals who often feel underestimated. The \u00abWomen and Figures\u00bb Project is aimed, among other things, at overcoming this injustice\u00bb.
