ELLAS Y YO: MEXICANAS – Destinos: 9th Chicago International Latino Theater Festival October 3, 2026
Presented by Wirtz Center Chicago, Pivot Arts, and Physical Theater Festival’s Made in Chicago Residency Program. Created and Choreographed by Silvita Diaz Brown.
Ellas y Yo: Mexicanas is a full-length dance-theatre triptych that physically embodies the legacies of Mexican women artists who forged creative freedom while navigating colonial, religious, and patriarchal constraints across centuries. Developed over the past four years, the work centers on Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Frida Kahlo, and myself, a contemporary Mexican immigrant artist living and working in the United States.
