What interest have you, world, in persecuting me?

Wherein do I offend you, when all I want

Is to give beauty to my mind

And not my mind to beautiful things?

— Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

 

Sor Juana has been commissioned by New York City Center. Support for new dance works at New York City Center is provided by the Arlene Shuler Artistic Innovation Fund and the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.
