“Querida Sor Juana: The Death of the Phoenix of México”

A fan letter to the poet nun of Mexico whose prolific work as a scholar, poet and playwright in the 17th century garnered her both recognition and censorship. This original bilingual (Spanish/English) script seeks to amplify unrepresented voices and foster dialogue around themes of censorship, identity, body autonomy and whose voices are permitted to center public discourse.
