Virginia Grise crafts plays set in windowless bars, barrio rooftops, and lesbian bedrooms, traversing themes from the body to prisons and from princess to 'chafa.' Her work is characterized by its raw energy and its exploration of marginalized voices and spaces. Grise is a playwright, performer, and activist whose writing dives deep into issues of identity, community, and resistance. Her innovative approach to theatrical storytelling often incorporates multimedia elements, pushing the boundaries of conventional drama.
Written, compiled, and collected by the authors and fashioned into a tour-de- force solo performance, this book features the words of Chicanas speaking with humor and candor. It includes stories that place the panza front and center as a symbol that reveals the lurking truths about women's thoughts, lives, loves, abuses, and living conditions.
