Emiliano Zapata’s Women
@ National Museum of Mexican Art
1852 W 19th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, June 2nd, from 7:30PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, June 3rd
The image of Emiliano Zapata is built (or destroyed) via a series of feminine voices that assuredly knew him: the midwife who attended his birth, his mother, his sister and one of his lovers; all of them painting an intimate image of “The Atilla of the South”. Emiliano´s Women is a play with funny, heartbroken, overshadowed, blood-stained voices; old voices that may seem current because no revolution has achieved justice for women.
The play will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
