(Partner Event) Esto No Tiene Nombre, one-woman show, by poet Denice Frohman
May 15 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT
The Clemente is proud to present Esto No Tiene Nombre, a one-woman show written and performed by acclaimed queer Nuyorican poet, Denice Frohman, for three workshop productions from May 15-17th. The play chronicles the oral histories of Latina lesbian elders told through a tapestry of vignettes exploring Latina lesbian activism, expression, and desire from pre-Stonewall police raids to first kisses. The title is inspired by Esto No Tiene Nombre, the first Latina lesbian magazine, founded in the 1990s by Colombian poet and activist tatiana de la tierra. Co-presented by INCITE at Columbia University.
This work is rooted in archival interviews conducted by Frohman as part of I See My Light Shining: Oral Histories of Our Elders, a year-long project curated by acclaimed writer Jacqueline Woodson, featuring more than 20 oral history interviews from Latina lesbian elders in New York City.
