Loa to the Divine Narcissus: Let's Cast It!

In this episode, hosts J. Paige Hilton and Caroline Lyons dig deeply into the ethical dimensions of staging a play like Loa to the Divine Narcissus today, particularly with regard to identity-conscious casting. They examine Aztec history and also think through the implications of not teaching this history fully in American classrooms. They also work with resources that foreground the use of multiple languages in performance to envision a multilingual staging of Sor Juana's religious play. Finally, they bring in guest presenter Christopher Niesner to bring this approach to performance to life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
