USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Poetry & History Run Amok in Reality-Bending Properties of Silence
Los Angeles Theatre Center (Los Angeles, CA)
Poetry, science and history spiral out of control as a contemporary Phoenix realtor, her pool contractor husband and 17th-century poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz meet in a multi-layered dreamscape. Joined by Sor Juana’s confessor, who hopes to silence her pen and scientific inquiries, reality bends as they all confront the nature of their identities and seek to find a new beginning. A trailblazing proto-feminist author who’s revered in Spanish-speaking countries, Sor Juana was a self-taught poet and playwright, scientist and philosopher. Properties of Silence incorporates an original soundscape and video that appears as a black-and-white film from the golden age of Mexican cinema film, and is inspired by Sor Juana’s landmark poem, “Primero Sueño (First Dream).”
