THE TENTH MUSE
Written by Tanya Saracho • Directed by Claudia de Vasco
The setting is a lively 18th- century convent in colonial Mexico. Young nuns and servants uncover a hidden play written by Sor Juana, a Catholic nun turned poet and feminist. Each night, behind Mother Superior’s back, the group of women act out Sor Juana’s presumptuous work and through the process discover their own complex bond of sisterhood.
