Women of Ciudad Juarez
The play is a powerful tribute to the hundreds of women who
were raped, tortured, and murdered during two decades of
terror in the Mexican border city that lies south of El Paso,
Texas.
Since 1993, hundreds of women, including factory workers, indigenous women, and young girls, have been brutally raped, tortured, and murdered in the industrial city, according to Jimmy Noriega. "Showing multiple female perspectives of life in Juárez ? from mothers and daughters, to factory workers and prostitutes ? the play speaks out against all forms of violence against the female body and psyche," he said.

Written by Cristina Michaus, a famous Mexican film actress, documentary filmmaker, and playwright, the production was translated into English and directed by Jimmy A. Noriega, assistant professor of theatre and dance at Wooster.
