La Lengua Teatro en Espanol and Brava Theater present the WORLD PREMIERE of LAS AZURDUY

*In Spanish, Aymara, and Quechua with English and Spanish supertitles.

A journey into the mind of a female warrior minutes before her death. Her last battle is against oblivion. With an all-Latina cast, this play invokes the powerful figure of Juana Azurduy, a South American independence leader, whose courage, conviction, and spirit require three characters to recount her feats. Las Azurduy is a story that celebrates the strength and power of female collective action.

Las Azurduy is an original play commissioned to Argentinian playwright Florencia Aroldi about Juana Azurduy, a hero of Latin America's wars of independence against the Spanish crown, a mixed-race woman of Indigenous descent who is only recently receiving her dues in the history books. This play is also an excuse to reflect on the invisibility of female work. Juana Azurduy embodied the resilience and spirit of Latin American women, as well as the mix of cultural and ancestral heritage that typifies the American experience. Today La Lengua clamors her name out loud for all to remember, and in Florencia Aroldi's tour-de-force new play, it takes three performers to embody Azurduy's complex and indomitable spirit - hence "Las Azurduy."

$25 general admission, $50 La Lengua supporter (priority seats), $100 La Lengua mecenas (priority seats + 1 free drink).

Presented by Brava Theater Center.
