At the end of 2018, the colective group of womxn improvisers called “la jaulase ha vuelto pájaro y se ha volado” (the cage has become a bird and has flown away) was created.

"Volar como pájaro implica riesgo, cruzar fronteras sin respetar la cartografía humana,
ni los paralelos, ni los meridianos, ni los relojes, ni las catedrales.
Cuando se es pájaro, para atravesar el espacio en tiempo y forma, sobrevivir y llegar a
destino sin contratiempos, se precisa de la capacidad de improvisación. Con rumbo
exacto y gracias a la memoria, si se es pájaro, uno se olvida del vértigo; y guiada por el
sonar, sigue a la bandada en armónico vuelo.
Y de pronto, al igual que los pájaros, con esa misma salvaje determinación y sapiencia,
una joven bandada de músicas improvisadoras, se adueña del aire, de las voces y las
cuerdas, para narrarnos la fantástica historia de cómo la jaula se ha vuelto pájaro y se
ha volado."
"Flying like a bird implies risk, crossing borders without respecting human cartography, or parallels, or
meridians, or clocks, or cathedrals. When you are a bird, to cross the space in time and form, survive
and reach your destination without setbacks, you need the improvisation capacity. With exact direction
and thanks to memory, if one is a bird, one forgets vertigo; and guided by the sonar, follow the flock in
harmonious flight. And suddenly, like the birds, with that same wild determination and wisdom, a young
flock of improvising music takes over the air, the voices and the strings, to tell us the fantastic story of
how the cage has become a bird and it has flown away.
Eleonora Eubel, singer, pianista and Composer.
