SUMMARY:Cosmic Curiosity
DESCRIPTION:COSMIC CURIOSITY The Life and Times of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz\nWritten & Directed by Carmen Peláez \nCosmic Curiosity brings to life the story of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz\, a 17th-century Mexican nun\, poet\, and scholar whose love for learning defied expectations. At a time when education for women was rare\, she pursued knowledge with determination\, becoming one of the most influential literary figures of her era. \nThis engaging play blends Sor Juana’s writings with imagined moments from her daily life\, exploring her intellectual journey\, her decision to enter the convent\, and the challenges she faced. Cosmic Curiosity captures an era when poets\, scientists\, and philosophers were shaping the world through discovery and debate. \nWritten and directed by Carmen Peláez\, a Miami-based award-winning playwright\, actress\, and director (Fake\, The Cuban Vote\, Rum & Coke). She is a 2023 MacDowell Fellow\, Ellie Award recipient\, and HBO NYLFF Short Film Competition winner. As a dedicated teaching artist\, she helps young people develop their own plays. \nA small ensemble of professional actors will bring Cosmic Curiosity to the stage\, making Sor Juana’s story engaging and accessible. Through historical texts and theatrical storytelling\, the play explores her unconventional education\, her path to becoming a writer\, and her lasting influence. \nAudiences will follow her journey from a self-taught child prodigy to the first Hispanic woman to publish a book in Spain\, building a library of 4\,000 books. Once nearly forgotten\, she is now celebrated as a literary icon\, even appearing on the 100 Mexican peso bill. \nWith humor\, drama\, and poetry\, Cosmic Curiosity highlights a woman whose passion for learning still inspires today. \nKoubek Center Theatre\nStudent Matinees: January 28\, 29 & 30\nPublic Performance: Saturday January 31st at 3 PM\n\nFree Parking!
