Bárbara Colio (Voces Teatrales)

12:45 – 2:00 p.m. in Eggers 113
  2:15 – 3:35 p.m. in Maxwell 204 [NOTE REVISED LOCATION!]

Mexican playwright, Bárbara Colio, uses Mexico as a case study to discuss the active role of women in theater and to address some of the challenges women face in the arts. Colio discusses and reads scenes from her recent play Julieta tiene la culpa (It’s Juliet’s Fault), a piece intertwining references from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire.

Colio's classroom talks are open to anyone interested. For further information, contact Marie O’Leary.


This event is organized by the LLC12 “Lake Erie Latin American Cultural Studies (LELACS)” working group of the CNY Humanities Corridor, from an award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
