The Sins of Sor Juana

By Karen Zacarías
Directed by Henry Godinez

One of the first published poets of the Americas and a member of a Mexican convent, Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz frustrated the Church with plays and poetry that expressed a feminism centuries ahead of its time. Surrendering to the Church’s demand for her silence, her final written words were penned in her own blood—a vow never to write again. Under the direction of Artistic Director Henry Godinez, The Sins of Sor Juana is a historic fantasy of self-determination and self-expression explores the real life of the 17th-century poet and her quest for artistic freedom and social equality.
