Monologos de la Vagina

Monólogos de la Vagina es una obra episódica escrita por Eve Ensler, resultado de 200 entrevistas que realizó a mujeres de diferentes partes del mundo. Ensler lee el texto en el Westside Theatre fuera de Broadway después de una presentación limitada en HERE arts Center en 1996, y a partir de ese momento comienza una exitosa carrera que se ha presentado en diversos idiomas. La pieza está compuesta por 9 monólogos y 3 conversatorios, lecturas dramatizadas representadas por mujeres. La Vagina es el tema recurrente a lo largo de la pieza como herramienta de empoderamiento femenino y la máxima encarnación de la individualidad, a través del sexo, el amor, la violación, la menstruación, la mutilación, la masturbación, el parto, el orgasmo, la variedad de nombres para la vagina, o simplemente como un aspecto físico del cuerpo.

Nuestra versión, dirigida por Manuel Mendoza, es leída en ESPAÑOL por tres actrices y a lo largo de su puesta ha contado con mas de 50 artistas latinas consagradas y de gran prestigio, destacando en esta ocasión el talento y reconocida trayectoria de Fabiola Colmenares, Elba Escobar y Judith González.Read more
