The Women Of Juarez @ The Frida Kahlo Theater
Teatro de Grupo Sinergia presents at the Frida Kahlo Theater in English and Spanish:
The Women of Juarez/Las Mujeres de Juarez at the Frida Kahlo Theater ~ 2332 W. Fourth Street, LA, CA 90057. For information and reservations call 213-382-8133. In English: Sunday May 18 at 8pm. In Spanish: Saturday May 19 at 8pm and Sunday May 20 at 6pm. Tickets: $15.00.
“The Women of Juarez/Las Mujeres de Juarez” is the story of a mother searching for her missing daughter only to discover an intricate web of misogyny, plus police and political corruption. The case of the murdered women of Juarez begins in 1993. Since then, over 600 women have been reported missing and the bodies of more than 400 victims have been found dead. Most of the victims are young factory workers from Mexico.
For more information on the Women of Juarez, one of the most gripping and hard-to-watch investigations of the murder cases remains, in my opinion, Lourdes Portillo’s 2001 documentary “Seniorita Extraviada.”

My mama’s family have been in El Paso for generations and I grew up entertained with all kinds of good stories from their days and nights in Juarez. In contrast my cousins never go there today. Very sad situation there.

I found out about the Frida Kahlo theater when i was currently working for community service. I believe having the Frida Kahlo theater in the Los Angeles community is a great opportunity for our society to be inform about social issues around internationally. i hope to see you strive in any of your upcoming goals.

Casualmente pasaba por la cally me encontre con la novedad de ver el teatro Frida Khalo, creo que es una magnifica oportunidad para que la gente incremente su cultura y sobre todo que uno tenga acceso a sus raices, me encantaria que le dieran mas promocion y que presentaran mas obras teatrales como en Mexico
