Description

House of Desires
Written by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
English Translation by Catherine Boyle
Directed by Nadia Guevara
Presented by Glass Canon Theatre Company 
Thursday, March 12th (English Language Presentation) and Saturday, March 14th (Spanish Language Presentation) @ 7pm

 

Step inside the witty, winding world of House of Desires, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's timeless comedy of love, mistaken identities, and bold intellect. Presented in both English and Spanish performances under the diligent eye of Nadia Guevara, this vibrant reimagining celebrates one of the Americas' earliest feminist voices through the lens of an all femme and non-gender-conforming cast. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful and historic Mexican Cultural Institute, join us for a joyful exploration of desire, power, and freedom in this door-slamming farce – where love and laughter know no bounds!
