Las Azurduy is an original play by the Argentinian playwright , Florencia Aroldi, commissioned by La Lengua Teatro en Español, and under the direction of Eugenia Arbol.
The story is a a journey into the mind of a female warrior, minutes before her death and during her last battle against oblivion.
In this play you get to know and understand the powerful figure of Juana Azurduy (1780- 1862), a South American independence leader, whose courage, conviction, and spirit required not only one but three characters on this production to recount her feats; that is why the play is called ¨Las Azurduy¨.
With an all-Latina cast, this story celebrates the strength and power of female collective action. The cast honores with pride the figure of Juana Azurduy and through the story wishes to inspire young people, especially young girls, and encoureages them to recognize their own strength and power towards a more inclusive future.
The world Premiere of the show will be presented at Brava's Cabaret in San Francisco, CA. Show dates run from August 19th until the 28th at 7pm (PDT).
