New York, May 29 (Prensa Latina) The Mexican poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz today inspires the staging of her life and work by the Hispanic Ballet, one of the most important Latin cultural companies in this country.
It is a contemporary dance piece in an “abstracted version,” the group declared, about a controversial woman who lived during New Spain (colonial times) and was valued as one of the greatest writers in Mexico.
With this premiere on Thursday, June 1 at the New York City Center, the United States Hispanic Ballet seeks to promote Latinidad in the northern nation and give greater visibility to the life of the so-called Tenth Muse.
Choreographer Michelle Manzanales expressed that it is impossible to tell everything about someone in a short dance.
That is why I selected pieces from the life of Sor Juana, who had many talents; she was an intellectual and she loved to learn, she studied many subjects, she didn’t just write poems, likewise, theater, opera, music, the artist recalled.
Juana Inés de Asbaje Ramírez de Santillana (1648/1651-1695), better known as Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, was a New Spanish Hieronymite nun and writer, an exponent of the Golden Age of literature in Spanish who also incorporated classical Nahuatl. to his poetic creation.
She cultivated poetry, the auto sacramental, theater and prose, as well as wrote Christmas carols, complete works and a whole set of loose documents that made this woman, ahead of her time, one of the most notable writers in the Spanish language. .
