The video explores the history of theater in the Americas, starting with pre-Columbian performances and the impact of Spanish colonization. It highlights the forced conversion of Indigenous peoples and the use of theater for religious propaganda. The focus then shifts to Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a prominent figure in the Spanish Golden Age, known for her feminist writings and plays. Her work, 'The Loa of the Divine Narcissus,' is analyzed for its cultural critique and incorporation of Indigenous elements.
