Explore the world of puppetry through the eyes of 9-year-old Juana as she fights to save her society during a performance at the Hemmens Cultural Center Main Stage Theatre.
Written and directed by Chicago artist, Rocio “Chio” Cabrera- Coz, Juana and the Missing Mayan Book is a performance like no other! In the midst of the Spanish invasion of what is now Yucatan, México, the Mayans battled for peace, independence, and cultural preservation.
Follow Juana, a 9-year-old girl, as she sets out on a journey to save the few lasting remnants of the ancient Mayan society. Folktales, poetry, hope, and nature are explored. Juana and the Missing Mayan Book will transport you to another world where mythology and hope clash against oppression.
