Lecture: "Desentrañando los Empeños. La subversión de un esfuerzo colectivo / Unraveling the Trials"

The suspension of face-to-face activities at UW-Madison (spring '20) put to the test the determination of a group of students and their teacher in their efforts to unravel and premiere the comedy by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (House of Trials). This 40 min. docudrama presents the process of this collective in parallel w/ the virtual rehearsals of the play of the Mexican playwright. It offers a hopeful vision based on the regenerative power of our creative nature as a way to subvert any crisis.
